Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Trunk pistons are too weak. Thinking the trunk lid was all the way up, I leaned in to the trunk on several occasions, only to bang my head on the trunk lid. It is my opinion that the trunk pistons are not raising the trunk high enough and injury to the head can occur.”
