Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALER, COMPLAINT #990031. IT INVOLVES THE CONDITION OF THE EXTERIOR PAINT JOB. AT THIS TIME, THE PAINT IF PEELING OFF IN CHUNKS! I CALL IT THE CHEVY TEAR-A-WAY PAINT JOB. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE WARRANTY IS GONE- TOO BAD! IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET SATISFACTION? THE VECHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND THERE ARE NO UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD EFFECT THE PAINT TO COME OFF IN THIS MANNER, OTHER THAN A POOR PAINT JOB. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK
