Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The drivers seat moves on it's own in park and in drive. At one point I had to remove my seatbelt and sit on edge of seat to reach the pedals on the highway in heavy traffic.”

NHTSA complaint #11128784, filed 2018-09, 74,600 miles

“A deer hit the driver side of my car. The air bag had a smell but did not deflate. The seatbelts kinda detached from the driver’s seat and both front seatbelts are locked very tight. This happened 1/3/25. About three months ago while driving, the driver seat went into the lowest level position. When I put it back where I could drive it, it did it again. I had to keep putting it in place till I got home. It hasn’t done that again yet. Please send me any recalls so I can get them fixed. Thank you”
