Example complaints

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

“Power seat on driver's side quit working along with seat warmers on both front seats. Examination found that the electrical feed at the rear of the driver's seat had failed in some manner, causing high resistance in the power and ground circuits which in turn LED to arcing and burning of the plastic connector. The amount of damage to the connector and its proximity to carpeting and potential contents in the vehicle raises concerns of a possible interior fire.”

NHTSA complaint #10218212, filed 2008-02, 52,789 miles

“A short in the wiring that powers the heated seats and power drivers seat. Connector is burned and melted. As a result of the short, my battery has been drained twice. Luckily this was found before a fire or serious injury.”
