Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Drivers side seat squeaks when driving and braking. Basically whenever the seat rocks back and forth. Mechanic said he can't understand why it does it but he thinks it's the mounting track on the base into the connection to the backrest. Said most likely an entire seat or frame of seat would need replacing.”
NHTSA complaint #11222570, filed 2019-06, 124,000 miles“The side piece of the two font seats broke, I can't sit properly into my car without literally sitting on top of the side of the seat first. It concerns me because the seat belt sometimes gets stuck. Also the electrical buttons are all fallen, hanging from the side of both front seats do to the same issue.. I would really appreciate if I can either get it fixed or possibly even replace both seats with a different design to avoid sitting on top of it first. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue.”
