Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Both driver and front passenger seat 'trim' is cracking and falling apart. We purchased extended warranty but it will not cover the front seat trim because ithey won't. They agree that it's not a wear item like oil, gas, brakes, or wipers but still won't replace them. The odd part is that the passenger side is worse than the driver's side but it is usually empty monday-friday. If both of our seat trim are demolished and we give it normal wear, we can't the only ones out there with this ridiculous problem. They just started falling apart about a year ago. …”
