Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The driver seat back kept falling into the back seat while driving, now the seat back doesn't move. The passenger is doing the same just not as bad. The heated seats come on whenever they want, but the heated driver's seat has stopped working all together. The seat belts randomly lock and barely retract.”
