INABILITY TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT MAY REPRESENT A FAILURE OF THE DOOR ACTUATOR. TO BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY CLAIM THAT THE PROBLEM CAN OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE AND MAY NOT BE DETECTED BY THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. IT IS NOT A COVERED PART OR REPAIR DESPITE BEING A SAFETY ISSUE IN A VEHICLE UNDER THE ORIGNAL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND LIKELY REPRESENTS AN INTRINSIC DEFECT IN A VEHICLE WITH 32,000 MILES.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
