NHTSA complaint #10129445, filed 2005-07, 48,000 miles“Driver side and passenger seats failed to lock in place. They both flop forward - I was rear-ended by a refrigered big-rig and this contributed to my injuries.”
NHTSA complaint #747586, filed 2001-06“The driver and passenger seats do not lock so if someone is sitting in the back of the car and pushes on the driver or passenger seat then they can be pushed foward. So if I were to get into a car acciedent with people in the backseat and they push on the seat the driver and passenger will be pushed into the dash board. The seat belts for the driver and passengers will lock up at random times when driving and will not lock up when the driver slams on the brakes. The paint is peeling on the roof of the car and the top door panels on both the left and right side of the car. …”
