Complaint Summary

STRUCTURE:BODY

Owner Narrative

While driving on the freeway the exterior a-pillar detached from the vehicle, causing it to strike the ground at an unsafe speed. Unsure if another vehicle was struck because of this molding failure. Spoke to the dealership at least 10 times now and the same reason is given: “we have not received the parts.” They have stated that the parts were ordered for my vehicle in November of 2025. It is now the end of April 2026. Notice of this recall was 1-19-2024.

Owner-submitted narrative on file with NHTSA. Complaint narratives are self-reported and have not been verified.
