Example complaints

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

“The power windows are very slow going up and down. First started on passenger side front but is now all windows. Had it into shop several times and they just greased them and they work better for a couple of months. Also, airbag never opened during collision a couple of years ago, but the airbag compartment slightly opened up on one side and the cover is slightly raised on one side.”
