“Truck is a 6 passenger vehicle the front seat can seat 3. My 13 year old grand daughter flipped up the middle console to sit in the middle position. The plastic cup holder broke off the console and flew into the back seat. We were stopped the side of the street in front of grand sons home loading up 6 passengers when this happened. Myself, wife, grandson, his wife, 12 year old grand daughter and 2 year old great grand daughter. We had buckled up my great grand daughter in the back seat in her car seat when this console broke off and fell on the back seat. …”
NHTSA complaint #11003100, filed 2017-07, 269 miles“The rear seat in the crew cab version seats 3 across but has one 2 head rests. The 2 head rests that are there, are entirely too short to provide any protection. Since this is a crew cab with seating for 3 in the rear, there should be proper head protection for each passenger. The top of the rear head rest is only 28 from the seat bottom. Way too short for most passengers.”
