1991 Chevrolet Corsica Interior & seats Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

MY SON WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY FROM AN ON-RAMP, ACCELERATING TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. THE HOOD LATCH ON THE VEHICLE FAILED AND THE HOOD POPPED OPEN SUDDENLY. IT SWUNG BACK AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD, CRACKING THE WINDSHIELD IN SEVERAL PLACES. IT ALSO PULLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FENDER BACK INTO THE SWING ZONE OF THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND PREVENTS THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR FROM OPENING. THE HOOD HAS A DENT ACROSS THE WIDTH OF IT AND WILL NOT CLOSE. HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.*AK
