Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 2007 Jeep Compass. The rear headrests are not removable and if I install my child forward facing car seat it leaves a gap in between the headrest and seat. This compromises children's safety. I called the dealership I bought it at and they refused to help or even acknowledge that there is a problem. I understand most jeeps have this problem as well.”
