“While driving the right arm rest broke off. After checking by ( myself) I found the bolt holding the arm on had broke at the end of the threads. This caused me to fall to the right but I still had control of the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10468068, filed 2012-07, 47,340 miles“Twice upon driving tonight, I pressed the pedal to accelerate when the light turned green, and the driver seat unlocked and pulled me backwards. If I wasn't holding on to the steering wheel I would have lost control of the car and been involved in an accident. I was able to press the break with the tip of my toe, manage to put the car in park, readjust the seat and go back into drive. All this while the light had turned green and cars were accelerating behind me. This happened twice tonight!! I am taller than my mom, but she is the primary driver of this vehicle. …”
