Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The rear seat headrests are undersized and too small to properly protect and accommodate teenage and adult passengers. Also, when they are set at their highest setting, they become unlocked with very little back or shoulder pressure and fall to the lowest setting. In my opinion, this is a serious safety hazard.”
