Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

CHEVROLET P30 'AUTO PARK'. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM IN THAT IT WOULD 'AUTO PARK' WHEN I PUT THE TRANS IN REVERSE AND I COULD NOT BACK UP. THE NEXT DAY(OR WEHN I LEFT THE RV PARK) IT WOULD WORK FINE. LIKEWISE, WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT FOR SERVICE IT WOULD WORK FINE. I GOT ON THE INTERNET ON SOME RV BOARDS AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS-ONE WAS LOCKED DOWN TOTALLY IN THE YARD, ANOTHER WOULD NOT HOLD, BUT THE WORSE WAS A LOCKDOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD! I COULD HANDLE THE MINOR ONES BUT NOW I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE "GOING DOWN THE ROAD LOCKDOWN". THAT COULD BE SERIOUS! THE INCIDENT DATE IS NOT CORRECT BECAUSE I CAN'T RECALL EXACTLY THE TWO TIMES I HAD PROBLEMS BUT HAD TO FILL IN THE FIELD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK
