Example complaints

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

“The driver side rear door would not open from the inside or outside. Once the dealership opened the back door, the vehicle would no longer lock at all. There was nothing to indicate this would be a problem. Now my car will not lock at all and this is a safety hazard. Also, not being able to open a door from the inside or outside is a major safety issue and my vehicle is available for inspection.”

NHTSA complaint #11597964, filed 2024-07

“The contact's wife owns a 2020 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that on several occasions when the vehicle was turned off, the rear doors failed to unlock manually or by using the remote, from the inside or outside the vehicle.
