Example complaints

“The low-back bucket seats in the 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan are very high and tilted (higher at the knees than at the spine) to the point that it is very difficult for an average-height woman to reach the accelerator without moving the seat all the way forward. (at which point the steering wheel is almost touching the body, the elbows are pressed into the seat back, and the knees hit the steering column when braking). When the seat is at a comforatable distance from the steering wheel, I cannot rest my heel on the floor, but have to drive with my toes only. …”
NHTSA complaint #10011027, filed 2003-03“The transmission catastrophically failed for the second time on an exit ramp. Fortunately, my wife was able to maintain control of the vehicle. The front barke rotors are warped. My wife was informed by Dodge that this shimmy we were feeling as we applied the brakes was the ABS engaging.

In addition, because the vehicle has over 12000 miles, we now have to pay for the repairs! The leather seating in the rear is 'delaminating.' (I don't know of a better way to describe it). …”
NHTSA complaint #756056, filed 2001-12“Rear seats tracking and anchor system will lock or stick, causing seats to malfunction. Dealer has serviced rear seats on five different occasions, however was unable to remedy problem . Track was wearing down, unable to keep seat in track.”
NHTSA complaint #8015075, filed 2002-07“Front seats (manual, not power) are too high and close to dash preventing persons of a height of about 5 5 from safely applying brakes - very dangerous in that legs are restricted by dash board - causes you to adjust seat to a more back position which simply trades one danger for another. Cannot enter or exit vehicle because inadequate leg room between seat and dash area. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge this problem. It's real! Be warned - applies to manual seats - not power.”
NHTSA complaint #750309, filed 2001-08“The front seats are too high making it hard for a woman who's height is 5'3 -5'5 to reach the brake/gas pedals without seat pulled all the way forward therefore not leaving enough room between consumer and air bag. Nlm”
