Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dt: consumer stated that yesterday she placed her granddaughter in car seat after unlocking the vehicle. When she shut the door on the passenger's side rear, the vehicle locked. After the door locked she went inside and had someone call 911 because her grandchild was in the vehicle. She lives in california, because of the heat she had the side panel window broken behind the driver's seat. This has happened once before, but consumer did not think anything of it, she thought that she had locked it herself. Consumer has not contacted the dealership and manufacturer yet.”
