“I've had the track that holds the driver's seat break twice, once at 40000 miles and again last summer at 125000 miles. All I did was sit and drive. I only weigh 220lbs! There is no warning or indication that it's broke until you make a turn and almost fly out the window, imagine if I was in an accident not knowing it was broke or weakened. To top it off the assembly just the bracket that holds the seat to the car costs $450. The car only cost 13000.”
NHTSA complaint #757538, filed 2002-01“The mount under the left side of the driver's seat has broken and is unable to be fixed with a bolt. This occured while driving down the roadway. When the driver of the vehicle makes a left turn, the seat leans to the right. This causes a safety hazard. The rear end of the car also makes a scrubbing sound when there are more than two people in the car. The sound is made when going over bumps and when accelerating slowly from a complete stop. I also had to pay for a cracked head gasket in late 2001. I was not aware of the recall on the head gaskets until the day my car was put in the shop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10096166, filed 2004-10“On the drivers side front seat. The frame member that attaches the seat itself to the sliding track has broken into. This caused the seat to tilt backward while my son was driving. The local dealer was shown the problem and basically said tough luck, without extended warrenty nothing could be done by dealer. He said that the assembly that was broken would cost several hundred dollars to replace. I feel that this bracket broke as a design defect. It appears to be a cast type of metal that is welded to both sides of the frame. It broke right in the middle. …”
NHTSA complaint #704002, filed 1999-03“Metal component of driver side seat, which bolts to floor, snapped. There are four (4) previous reports to NHTSA of the same or similar problems: odi id 537368 on 06/24/1998; odi id 704022 on 02/24/1999; odi id 711299 on 09/04/1999; and odi id 862765 on 05/29/2000. Since there were no reports prior to 06/24/1998, does this possibly suggest metal fatigue in component used to mount seat to floor of vehicle?”
NHTSA complaint #741982, filed 2001-03“Our vehicle has just started over heating without any kind of warning, the front driver seat electric switch to move seat forward and back will not move the seat, and the rear suspension is niosey, upon backing up and slight dips in road or more that 2 passengers in vehicle at a time”
