Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I pulled into a gas station, driving a 2004 chevy avalanche. I had dropped something between the seat and the door. I turned off the truck as I was reaching down to find what I had dropped. When I pulled the key out of the ignition, the automatic seat went backwards (which is a personal setting option). My top 1/3 of my middle finger got caught in a hole where the undercarriage for the seat attaches to the floor. But when the seat went back, my finger was not only smashed, but also stuck. I tried to put the key back in the ignition to move the seat up, which didn't help. …”
