Example complaints

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

“This is to report a problem with the evenflo infant car seat-model on my way . The problem is the plastic buckle that is used to secure the belts together to snug the child in the seat easily works it way down, thereby creating a dangeous situation. My 4 month old son has come out of the belts and close to coming out of the seat while the vechicle was in motion. Thank you.”

NHTSA complaint #705955, filed 1999-04

“Both the drivers and passengeers automatic windows have broken. The middle console is broken. The hooks for the back seat do not latch the seat and the seat flies forward during braking (a distracting hazzard). The engine makes a ticking noise. The engine seems to get too hot. The engine seems to smell of oil even after short trips. The belts make loud noise when the vehicle is just starting - I just had the vehicle in the station and the service man said he did not find anything wrong with the vehicle.”
