WE OWN TWO CHEVROLET 4 X4 Z 71 PICKUPS AND HAVE HAD INSIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILURES REPEATEDLY ON BOTH VEHICLES. TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE BEEN TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WE HAVE ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE! WE HAVE REPLACED THESE DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH PICKUPS AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND THE NEW HANDLES DO NOT LAST MORE THAN 2-3 WEEKS! THESE HANDLES ARE EXPENSIVE AND FAIL SOON AFTER REPLACEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR ACCIDENT THIS COULD BE FATAL. *JB

Reading this record

1 death reported in complaints filed with NHTSA.

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.
