Example complaints

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

“Car was parked. We walked towards the car, unlocked it, started it, buckled up, put it in reverse, the car chimed and the LED screen read door ajar passenger door wouldn't latch (I'm always picky about my car, I always tell my passengers don't slam the door before we get in the car) so I know the problem was not generated by me. When I got the door to latch I was happy. But now the door won't open. My passenger had to crawl out the drivers door.”

NHTSA complaint #10509280, filed 2013-04, 73,000 miles

“On april 16th 2016 I was in a car accident. Me and a friend were driving back to his house the road at night, when a deer crossed the road, I attempted to maneuver to dodge the deer and ended up going off the road and losing control of my vehicle. My car hit a fence line, as well a multiple small trees. The car was totaled yet my airbags did not deploy. I've already contacted my insurance company, and as everything starts to settle with them I'd like to know if there is anything I can do because of the fact that my airbags didn't deploy. …”

NHTSA complaint #10861377, filed 2016-04, 98,400 miles

“Without any warning the front passenger door wouldn't open causing me to climb over console to get out on driver side. If there was an accident or a fire in the vehicle the time it took to climb over the console could have been a life or death situation. When brought to the dealer for an appointment 3 days later that they couldn't get it open either for the longest time and was told it was caused by a broken door latch. This is a safety issue and should be reason enough for a manufacturers recall. This was a very expensive part to have repaired for a cost of $463.31 absolutely disgusting!”
