Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While cleaning the interior of the vehicle, I noticed that the rear split bench seat would not lock onto the floor mounting points after I had folded it up to clean beneath it and attempted to return it to it's original position. The rear seats are now secured only by the two shoulder level latches on the sides of the vehicle. While inspecting the mechanism it appears that two of the three latch mechanisms have missing or broken return springs. This worries me because I mount my five year old sons car seat to this bench seat.”
