Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While moving the seat forward (valet moved it back) we found that the seats twisted; in our case, the outer side of the seat bottom moved further than the inner side, causing the seats to twist towards the center of the car and leaving them uneven with the dash and front of the car. Attempts to correct the seat positioning by moving the seat backwards via power switch caused the inner bottom portion of the seat (around the thigh bolsters) to bind and jam against the center console. We found that the power passenger seat had the same problem. …”
