This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Another vehicle backed into the side of consumer's vehicle door while traveling about 20 mph, and causing interior part of door to break. Dealer has yet to be contacted.
Outside door handles on driver's and passenger's sides will not open from outside. Dealer has repaired vehicle. However, doors still will not open from outside.
Latch on electric sliding door releases when vehicle standing discharging battery. Company recalling 1997 on for this defect. It is safety hazard if it should occur running. In emergency car cannot be relied on. I believe my vehicle is not safe without this correction.
Vehicle experiences problem with door handles: Passenger's side door will not open from inside or outside. Driver's door will not open from the outside dealer notified. Provide further details.
Rring problem with the GM minivans. While in this case it was not hazardous, in the event of a collision, rescue teams would be unable to open the doors by normal means.
Both outside door handles, driver side and passenger side, broke within 3 months of each other. Both broke in the same manner. The door could not be opened from the outside. In my opinion, this woould be a safety hazard if a person in the vehicle needed emergency assistance fom the outside.
Help my car is falling apart and the dealer wants huge sums to fix these problems some of which I believe are defects. $500 for a defroster switch-ouch, power locks failed, alternator failed, consumes 1 qt of oil every 800 miles, stalls at start in am. Can I get help from GM on these items ? your help is appreciated
My windshield wipers keep shorting out. Some times they work and sometimes they don't. the bracket to hold the front seat broke and had to be replaced. The handles on the passenger door broke and needed to be replaced and now the sliding door is doing the same. The brake light keeps coming on and the antilock brakes make a grinding noise when applied.
Vehicle has a remote sliding door. When the door is opened it closes without the remote being pushed. When the vehicle is on a slight hill it closes. Sometimes when no hill at all, it also closes. The dealer has been notified about the vehicle's door. The dealer repalced the motor on the door. After the replacement of the motor, the door still closes on it's own. Child was closed up in the door while on a hill. (she was pressed between the door and where the vehicle and the door meets.
1- every time the weather is wet and cold, all 4 doors freeze shut. This is due to the design of the body. The doors allow water to collect all around the top and vertical sides and the water freezes...locking me out of the car. Neither the dealer nor mfg have a solution. 2- brakes: Every time the weather is wet, or even with high humidity the brakes squeal and grab which initiates the ABS system which in turn brings the car to a "jerky motion" stopping situation. Neither the dealer nor the mfg have a solution....and even more frustrating to me...neither the dealer nor the mfg seem to "give a damn".
