Example complaints

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

“My car has been nothing but problems since I purchased it. The moonroof has leaked and I have paid to have it repaired several times even though GM says they aren't to blame. The leaks in the moonroof are only what I can start to attribute the electrical problems to. I randomly loose radio controls, have buttons that don't work, cant use my key fobs after replacing them and replacing batteries only the panic button will work. What takes the cake is the reduced engine power light that came on yesterday and the service ECM light, nearly killing us on the highway. …”

“My wife had her coat caught in the door after she exited and the car began to move away. When the car is in drive, the door cannot be opened from the outside. She lost her balance and fell, losing her balance, broke her wrist. She could not open the door because it was locked automatically.. The car is a 2009 Saturn AURA. The manual says that automatic locking of doors is programmed and can't be changed. This is not safe!! She could have been thrown under the car.”
