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.
Interior door panels expanded due to weather (heat in California) and doors cannot be pulled open. In the event of a collision, passengers would not be able to get out of the car due to the expanded interior door panels.

I was driving 50mph on a windy day. A semi passed us and the air pressure imploded the front sunroof. There was no debris other than shattered glass in the interior.
This vehicle is equipped with running board that are "flush" with the bottom of the doors. Any time there is snow or ice, while driving the snow and ice will build-up on the running boards and make it difficult to impossible to open any of the doors. If a quick exit were required in poor weather or in case of an accident, it would be impossible to exit. We have documented the defect with photos and contacted the dealer and auto maker repeatedly, and always receive the same message, "we are contacting our field technical engineer." However, we never receive any other correspondence. On one occasion, we had our grandchildren in the vehicle and literally could not get the doors open to get them out on a routine stop. Imagine our concern if an accident were to occur.
