Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My first issue is that everytime it rains, water leaks from the sunroof. The area around the sunroof will be soaked and dripping down into the seats and down to the floor. Also my liftgate does not work. I have to manually lift it all the way up and down. I can hear the gears turning but they don't work.”
NHTSA complaint #11172449, filed 2019-01, 160,000 miles“Now that its cold my truck wont start. Every morning I have to jump start it. I also notice the head lights go out well on one that is. The left one. When in idle the stability track light on dash board illuminates I know this isn't right I had that serviced already. Then the engine light comes on. The hatch back wont go up completely it will go mid stream and close back.”
NHTSA complaint #10935264, filed 2016-12, 106,233 miles“When driving through a puddle, there was a loss of power steering and brakes. I had the interior liners replaced but the problem still occurs. The electrical problems have increased dramatically since the original date of the problem and at this point, I think this vehicle is extremely dangerous to drive. …”
NHTSA complaint #10607040, filed 2014-06, 105,000 miles“For a couple weeks I've been having problems opening my trunk hatch, I tried again today and it didn't open. I then bent down to pick up my bags when the hatch opened on its own and hit me in the head pretty hard. It's very frustrating not being able to open my trunk when I have groceries in it. I didn't go to the doctor or the er because I work in the medical field and can recognize the signs of a concussion.”
NHTSA complaint #10766544, filed 2015-09, 135,676 miles“My Saturn Outlook began to fail electrically last week. . . Resulting in a diagnosis of clogged sunroof drains. I have read to great extent how this is a specific defect of these Saturn (now GM) vehicles and yet the dealership will not claim any responsibility?! I am blown away by the almost $2000 price tag to fix what is in effect their fault.”
