Example complaints

“I was driving on the expressway when the passenger sliding door track panel blew completely off and also shattered the covering of the rear passenger light cluster. I was able to return to the shoulder and recover the panel. I am amazed that it did not hit the windshield of a vehicle behind me.”
NHTSA complaint #10794866, filed 2015-11, 42,950 miles“I own a 2004 Nissan Quest. I had lift the trunk of the car with a remote to quickly grab something from the trunk as I was in a hurry. The hatchback came crashing down on my hand. The bag I was grabbing got caught in between and kept me from severing my hand. I took the car to Nissan who did not seem to be bothered the least by this. They told me to replace a motor that controls the trunk. I feel that there should be a safety device to reverse the door and keep it from closing so rapidly. I won't let my 12 year son touch the door anymore.”
NHTSA complaint #10235701, filed 2008-07, 109,000 miles“While driving on a main highway, the right side rail cover fell off during the impact from driving over a pot hole. It was determined by my own repair facility that it was missing the only screw which holds the rail cover, along with 5-6 prongs. This screw belongs on a metal piece located behind the tail light. The lost rail cover was replaced along with the screw. If screw was there, part would of hung on. If rail cover had the screw, on high speed, it would of bent the metal part inside and most likely broken the tail light. …”
