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.

IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 35 DEGREES, THE DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. IT CLEARLY MAKES AN UNLOCKING SOUND WHEN UNLOCK IS ACTIVATED, BUT THE HANDLE ACTS AS IF IT IS LOCKED. I HAVE TO CRAWL THROUGH ANOTHER DOOR TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS EFFECTED, AND IT OPENS AS NORMAL FROM THE INSIDE. HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF. OBVIOUSLY STATIONARY.
