Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When opening the passenger-side power slider door while the car was on and parked in the driveway, the sliding cable snapped and is currently hanging from the side of the body. I cannot use the power buttons to open the door automatically, nor can I manually open the sliding door.”
NHTSA complaint #11219833, filed 2019-06, 49,000 miles“I was driving on the interstate at approximately 65 miles per hour. My 'check all wheel drive system' warning alarm came on shortly followed by the: check engine, battery alarm, collision breaking system, etc. I'm certain there were more alerts going off; however I was trying to steer a car, that had lost power off the roadway. I was able to get the car safely onto the shoulder where I attempted to turn off the vehicle. I couldn't turn the car off until I realized I needed the car to be in park. …”
NHTSA complaint #11105014, filed 2018-07, 13,700 miles“The door was not installed properly and closed by itself many times without detecting if people were in the way and crushed a child and he was injured”
NHTSA complaint #11123467, filed 2018-08, 1,000 miles“The driver rear door has been opening while the car is on the road I took it to the dealer they want my to pay for the service. This is a safety issue they don't want to replace the door latch. They told me to turn off the power door of but they problem still occur it's very dangerous situation I can't even that my kids out”
NHTSA complaint #11221455, filed 2019-06“Today I had a crash and luckily walked away. I went down an embankment at speed into trees where the vehicle rolled and struck trees head on. All the vehicle airbags deployed and vehicle came to rest on the drivers side. Although there was electrical power and the engine still running none of the right side doors would open and neither would the rear hatch which was clear of obstruction! Had there been a fire I wouldn't be making this report! Doors need to be operable regardless of situation when none of them are jammed from an accident!”
