Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“GMC told me I needed to contact you regarding my third row seats not going down flat. The headrest will not flip forward causing me not to be able to use my vehicle as intended.”
NHTSA complaint #11617678, filed 2024-10“No traffic collision. Preemptive report. Headrest positioned so far forward that head is forced into a downward position. Unable to comfortably maintain eye contact with the road in this position (photo attached). Only remedy is to have headrest positioned so far down that it would cause decapitation in a collision. I was not aware of the decapitation risk when purchasing the vehicle. GM initially stated the dealership should have remedies in the form of alternate parts to be installed at the dealership. Dealership stated that is not the case and they do not have any resolution available.”
