Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

BOTH POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FOR THE BACK WINDOWS FAIL TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOWS, LEFT SIDE IN EARLY 2004, AND NOW THE RIGHT SIDE IN LATE SUMMER OF 2005. I DETERMINED THAT THE PLASTIC MOLD INJECTED SLIDER (INSIDE THE METAL TRACK FOR THE WINDOW) IN THE LEFT REAR WINDOW HAS BROKEN, AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE CASE WITH THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW ALSO. I AM SIMPLY WAITING FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW TO BREAK AS IT IS EXHIBITING SLOWNESS WHILE GOING UP AND DOWN. *NM

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.
