Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear most passenger side window bracket gets in the way of the passenger side sliding door, effectively locking it closed. The door cannot be opened from the inside and someone on the outside needs to use a shim to push the bracket back into place to provide enough clearance for the door to open.”
NHTSA complaint #10360190, filed 2010-10, 111,000 miles“Children became locked in the hatchback, the children crawled in hatchback and closed the door, because the storage shelf was in place the children could not crawl up over the back of the seat and get out as the hatch was not designed with a latch to unlock the door from the inside, the consumer feels the storage shelf is a danger even thought there is a warning.”
NHTSA complaint #8010173, filed 2002-05“Vibration felt in front end and pulling to left. Steering wheel shook and was difficult to control over 55 MPH. Serviced several times at dealer. Mechanic could not reproduce the problem. Stated it could be the tires. Had tires aligned and rotated, no change. Bought new tires, still no change. Foul odor smells like sulfur. Dealer stated it is from the cheap gas purchased from military installation gas stations. Drove vehicle until almost empty then fill tank at shell station. Foul odor returned when fuel was at 1\2 tank. Hard start upon ignition sounds like metal rubbing against metal. …”
