Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

report

From owner reports, verbatim

WE OWN TWO CHEVROLET 4 X4 Z 71 PICKUPS AND HAVE HAD INSIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILURES REPEATEDLY ON BOTH VEHICLES. TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE BEEN TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WE HAVE ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE! WE HAVE REPLACED THESE DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH PICKUPS AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND THE NEW HANDLES DO NOT LAST MORE THAN 2-3 WEEKS! THESE HANDLES ARE EXPENSIVE AND FAIL SOON AFTER REPLACEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR ACCIDENT THIS COULD BE FATAL. *JB
