Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Right rear bracket that holds the drivers seat to the mounting track broke. This allowed the drivers seat to swing back on acceleration and swing forward, into steering wheel, when applying the brakes. The seat would swivel around on the three remaining attach points. This occurred during normal driving. If this had happened as a resujlt of a rear end collision, it is likely that the entire seat would have torn loose and become an unguided flying object in the car. Given that the seat belt is attached to the seat frame rather than the car's frame, it would have provided no protection. …”
