Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving down the road at 25 MPH the drivers seat all of sudden fell back (the top seat) and wont stay up in position. It seems that it is faulty due to a mechanism not being attach correctly. I have not been able to get the seat fixed due to high costs. Also the rear chassis brake tube seem to rust extremely and create itself a hole.”
NHTSA complaint #10744772, filed 2015-07, 110,000 miles“Dt: contact states the lever on the seat that is used to recline the driver's seat broke. This happened on 8-16-05. The dealer will not cover the cost of the repairs. The consumer could not afford to have the seat lever fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10136748, filed 2005-10, 73,000 miles“While driving vehicle was in a rear end collision, driver/passenger sides declined backwards upon impact. The passenger in the rear seat was impacted by the seatback when it declined backwards.”
NHTSA complaint #10030049, filed 2003-07, 47,000 miles“My grandparents own a Dodge van. My grandfather was rear-ended at less than 15 MPH. The front driver seat broke and fell into a reclining position. It has to be replaced. My concern is mainly for the safety of anyone sitting on the bench seat directly behind the drivers seats.”
NHTSA complaint #10010130, filed 2003-03“Vehicle was stopped in traffic. Vehicle was struck behind by second vehicle at a speed of approximately 30 miles per hour. Problem that concerns me is that the driver's side seat broke off, my seat belt was on, so I was not thrown anywhere, but I found myself between the two front seats.”
