SEALED HEADLIGHTS THAT HAVE RESIDUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS THAT YOU CAN NOT REPLACE JUST THE BULBS. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, THAT COST OVER 600.00 EACH. THIS WOULD BE ON A 2002 CADALLAC CATERA. *TR
BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL ARE SO CLOSE TOGETHER THAT WHEN APPLYING BRAKES COULD ALSO PRESS GAS AND VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT CURB. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK *TT
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
