Example complaints

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

“1996 Toyota Land Cruiser purchased new by me with approximately 89,000 miles. At approx 88,000 miles, the driver's door handle mechanism failed. In particular, the opening mechanism broke without any prior indication of impending problems. As a result, the door was unable to be opened from either inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle. It was necessary to crawl out of the driver's seat from the passenger door (and back in to drive to the dealer for repair). The dealer had to remove the interior door panel while the door was close resulting in damage to the panel and seat. …”
