The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that while exiting or entering the vehicle, the doors failed to remain open. The contact stated that the doors closed independently if there was a slight wind or if the vehicle was parked on a slight incline with front of the vehicle pointed toward the incline. The contact stated that the doors had closed on his legs on several occasions while exiting or entering the vehicle. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,600.
The issue involves the upper corners of all four door frames on my 2024 Chevrolet Trax, which are extremely sharp. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. On approximately may 13, 2024, and again on August 16, 2025, my passenger in the front seat was struck in the face by the sharp door frame corner, while exiting the vehicle. In both incidents, the corner cut my passenger's cheek below the eye, resulting in small open wounds, which needed to be cleaned and disinfected. The problem has occurred twice under normal use. I reported the first incident to general motors (gm) on may 15, 2024, but did not receive a response. On sept 22, 2025, I reported the second incident that occurred on sept 2, 2025, to gm, at which time they asked several questions and requested photos of my vehicle, which I provided. On sept 22, 2025, gm requested I take my vehicle to my dealership, j. B. A. Chevrolet, for inspection. I took my vehicle to jba on sept 29, 2025, and was told that gm wanted photos of my vehicle, as well as photos of another 2024 Trax on the lot for comparison. At that time, jba had to wait for another vehicle to come in. Unknown if jba or gm attempted to reproduce the issue during an inspection. On oct 24, 2025, gm telephoned and issued a final determination, which I requested in writing and received on Nov 11, 2025. Gm stated that because the design was consistent across Trax vehicles, and based on the facts provided, they were unable to assume responsibility for damages and suggested I resolve the issue with my insurance company. I did not ask for damages, I asked for corrective measures to avoid future injuries. I submitted a request for reconsideration on Dec 2, 2025. On Dec 16, 2025, a totally different gm office contacted me, which did not yield any results. Although the injuries were minor, the repeated nature of the harm indicates a foreseeable risk to future passengers and to other Trax owners. Uploading 10 pages in pdf format.
