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.

POWER DOOR WINDOWS BEGIN "STICKING" WHILE POWERING UP AND EVENTUALLY FAIL AND GET STUCK. THIS HAPPENED ON MY FRIEND'S TRUCK JUST 2 WEEKS BEFORE MINE. OURS WERE MANUFACTURED JUST A FEW MONTHS APART AND IT HAPPENED ON BOTH OF MY WINDOWS (FRONT) WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. A SMALL PLASTIC END ON THE WIRES USED TO "PULLEY" THE WINDOWS BREAKS AND ALLOWS THE WIRE TO WRAP IMPROPERLY AROUND THE WINDOW MOTOR'S INTERNAL PULLEY RESULTING IN WIRES OVERLAPPING AND EVENTUALLY WEDGING WITHIN THE MOTOR. THIS SHOWS ME THAT THIS IS A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURERS WINDOW MOTORS ON NOT ONLY MY FRONTIER, BUT OTHERS I HAVE MET.*AK
