Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The driver side seat will not anchor properly. When you accelerate, the seat slides backwards. Also, when sitting still, if I extend my legs, the seat slides backwards. I notified the dealer and he said several similar problems had been reported. No recall has been issued. This problem could cause the standard transmission vehicle to lurch forward and crash into another vehicle. I think this is a serious flaw in manufacturing and needs to be looked at. Several times I have accelerated from a stopped position and the seat has moved all the way back to the rear of the car. …”
