Example complaints

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

“I found the problem two months after purchase. Went on a trip and as we never moved the seats I forgot about. I took it into the dealer for a recall on seat recliner, told them about it, no concern. Took it back for another recall on brake switch. They told me the seat risers on both sides front were worn out, a bad design sence 1994 to 96 after that a new seat riser design was installed in new trucks. Never had this problem before in any vechile. Must be a bad design. Is now dangerous as slides forward when breaking, pass side, drivers side holds but is loose and same condition, thank you. …”

“The passenger's front seat when locked moves 1/4 inch back and forth. When folding up to use the back of club cab, have to move it back and forth. Sometimes it will cause knees to be up to driver's chin. Although did not lock it in that position, it will change locking positions, then it will lock up.”
