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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed Mar 28, 2021

2014 I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM PAUL MILLER ROLLS ROYCE IN NEW JERSEY. 2016 THE RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW FRACTURED ON ITS OWN. NOT CAUSED BY IMPACT. PAUL MILLER REPLACED WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY. 2017 THE RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW FRACTURED AGAIN ON ITS OWN. NOT CAUSED BY IMPACT. PAUL MILLER REPLACED THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY. 2019 I MOVED TO MIAMI BEACH, FL WITH THE VEHICLE. 2021 THE RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW FRACTURED AGAIN ON ITS OWN. NOT CAUSED BY IMPACT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO BRAMAN MIAMI ROLLS ROYCE. THEY DECLINED TO REPLACE THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY. RICKY WILDNER FROM BRAMAN STATED THAT THE LOCAL ROLLS ROYCE REPRESENTATIVE OFFERED A DISCOUNTED PRICE OF $5500 TO REPLACE THE WINDOW. HE FURTHER STATED THAT THE FRACTURE MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY STORAGE IN FLORIDA HEAT. MATTHEW BOYER FROM BRAMAN STATED THAT HE FORMERLY WORKED FOR ROLL ROYCE MOTOR CAR AND THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER OCCURED IN THIS MODEL. REPLACING THE WINDOW WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS FUTILE. CONSIDERING THAT THE SAME WINDOW HAS BROKEN IN THE IDENTICAL MANNER 3 TIMES WITH NO IMPACT, EVEN IF I PAY TO REPLACE THE WINDOW, IT WILL LIKELY FRACTURE IN THE SAME MANNER AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS LIKELY THAT THE DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE WINDOW TO FRACTURE IN SAME MANNER 3 TIMES IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS LIKELY THAT MY CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DAILY WITH THE FRACTURED WINDOW IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD.

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
