Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Floor at attachment point of front seat anchor bolt has cracked so that the front seat can rock up and down (this is described in Ford TSB 98-24-5 for 1992-1997 Ford crown victorias); will this defect affect occupant's protection in a crash, as the seat is now permitted to move in a larger range of motion during an impact than its original design specifications? Ford TSB lists this repair as applicable under its bumper-to-bumper warranty, but this defect may exist in out-of-warranty vehicles as well.”
