Example complaints

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

“Child locks issue: my family and I were going to a restaurant, and, upon arrival, my mother was unable to exit. I realized that the child lock device lever in our 2014 Nissan LEAF was out of the child-unlocked, or normal-egress, position. I also realized that this was a serious safety concern. I investigated the door child-lock manual lever on the LEAF and invented a device to keep the lever position in the child-unlocked condition until we desired to reposition it (when traveling with small children). I also invented the alternate device, that is, to maintain the child-locked position. …”
