Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The driver's seat head rest assembly contains a number of sharp fabric tacks, and 2 large nails. Upon getting into my car this morning, I received a severe cut on my forearm that required 20 stitches. Having nails this close to someone's head is not a good idea. I can supply pictures of the seat, as well as pictures of the wound I recieved. I can also provide medical records.”
