2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE — Complaint #2062966
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS filed February 5, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2062966 (ODI reference 11640898) concerns a 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE and was filed on February 5, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 12, 2022. The vehicle had 42,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New Jersey based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:power window devices and controls, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET CRUZE cohort independently describe similar visibility:power window devices and controls failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while opening the driver's side front window and the passengerâs side front window, the cable snapped, and the window fell inside the door. The power windows became inoperable. The message to open and close the window was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on three occasions, where it was diagnosed that the power window regulator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed there were no recalls on the VIN for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
