Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on sunday night, a car in front of mine hit the brakes requiring me to do the same. At that point, the seat behind my driver's seat disengaged from the locking mechanism and tilted forward. My daughter was in the seat at the time in her carseat. As the seat fell forward her face hit the back of my seat causing an abrasion and black eye. She was taken to her doctor. The van will be taken in to Chrysler for evaluation. Clearly the seat malfunctioned as it was not left unlocked.”
NHTSA complaint #10661885, filed 2014-12, 100,000 miles“My heated seats were not working. I took my vehicle to the dealer, and was told that the element needed replaced. I paid $154 to fix this. The heat still did not work, and I was told that the element in the back of seat also needed replaced which would cost $600. I was showed by the mechanic that the wires come loose and burn. Needless to say I was not going to pay another 600, I already threw away $154. I'm told even though there is a warranty, this is not covered.”
