Example complaints

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

“I bought my 2014 Fj Cruiser brand new with 5 miles on it. 6 months into owning it the driver door locks stopped working. The dealer replaced it under warranty. About a year later the passenger locks stopped working and they replaced those under warranty. About 1-1/2 years later the driver lock (that was already replaced) stopped working again. I had 34,000 miles on it and they told me that it's no longer covered under warranty. I told them that the lock they replaced went out but the dealer said the replacement warranty is only good for 1 year after the repair! …”

Insurance company reports high number of claims especially related to newer cars with wiring. …”
