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.
The locks freeze up in cold temps, enough to twist and bend my key. Even trying to force it open from the inside does not work. I almost broke my thumb trying to force it open unless you put a heater in the car for a long time.
In normally opening the driver's side door from the inside in cold weather, the plastic door handle broke became inoperative. The only way to open the door was by rolling down the window and operating the door using the outside door handle. Obviously this is a safety problem if the car needs to be exited quickly.
