Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On october 2002, my mother was involved in a fatal car accident, when we went to view her vehicle, I noticed her drivers side door panel, on the inside was burned completely. This door was hit from the impact of the car that ran into her. I have been told that the motor that allows the window to roll up caught on fire and thats why the door got burnt. When the door caught on fire, my mother was burned very badly, as this was not the total cause of her death, I am concerned about a defect in the vehicle.”
