Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The frameless windows, usually the vent portion has separated from the dual panes. The seals come apart causing the outer pane to be able to separate from the inner pane. This could separate while driving down the road. I have been fortunate so far as I have noticed the problem before driving. This has happened 5 times to date on several windows. The vehicle was stationary when I noticed all separated panes. Recurring problem since purchased new 08/03/2018”
NHTSA complaint #11399527, filed 2021-03, 11,000 miles“I used the Hydralift to carry my wife’s motorcycle, a 2018 Indian Chieftain. When you mount a Hydra lift on the back of an RV you no longer have access to the receiver hitch that came with the RV. Because of that Hydralift adds a receiver hitch to the lift so that you can flat tow a vehicle behind the RV. There is a plate on the receiver hitch that states it is rated to tow 8000 lbs. I was towing a 2018 Ram 1500 pickup. In the bed I had an Amerideck lift and on the lift was my motorcycle, a 2020 Indian Challenger. …”
NHTSA complaint #11523668, filed 2023-05“The driver's side window is a dual pane window. The glass has lost its seal letting moisture in between the panes causing a drivers visibility issue. Driver is unable to see in the rear mirror or to the left side of the vehicle. Vehicle manufacturer claims vehicle is out of warranty and denied any remedy.”
