Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Body & structure 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.

PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. GMC DEALER QUOTED A $1,000.00 REPLACEMENT COST. DEALER PROPOSED MY COST WOULD BE $600.00. SAME DEALER REPLACED CRACKED DASHBOARD ONCE BEFORE AT NO COST TO ME. THIS CERTAINLY APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT BUT DEALER DISAGREES.

WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE WITH GROCERIES AND COULD NOT GET THE BACK LEFT DOOR CLOSED, WAS VERY UNSAFE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, WAS TOLD THE RUBBER WAS DEFECTIVE AROUND BOTH DOORS AND THE LATCHES WERE RUSTED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE DOOR FLEW OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY? WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE? I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN ON A SAFETY RECALL, NOW OF COURSE, THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR
