Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We have had multiple seat latches fail on our vehicle. We have attempted to WD40 the mechanism and have ensured there is nothing in the tract but the second row passenger seat as well as the larger drivers side third row seat are not latching onto the tract. The mechanism moved freely but they are not latching into place. I had submitted a safety recall claim for our second row seat a while back as it created a significant safety issue with our child in the seat. Now the rear seat is having a similar problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11575069, filed 2024-03, 125,000 miles“Had turned on the air in the seat and smelled a plastic burning smell when I parked my car and went in my house to get my swimsuit and towel and returned outside smoke was rolling out of the car. The car was on fire at the drivers side seat.”
NHTSA complaint #10731142, filed 2015-06, 6,700 miles“I have already submitted a claim regarding my passenger side middle seat not locking into the track and having a significant safety concern. On July 1st my sister in law was sitting in the back (middle drivers side captains chair this time) while driving and attempted to move the seat forward slightly to make more room in the back. After she pulled up the lever the seat would not latch onto the track and started to slide back and forth freely. …”
NHTSA complaint #11473083, filed 2022-07“The passenger side second row outside seat is not latching into place appropriately and thus slides forward and back in the track upon breaking or accelerating. We did not know it became faulty until my 5 year old was seated while driving and upon vehicle breaking his chair flew forward in the track and jolted him. He nearly face planted into the front seat, and if we were driving any faster and needed to suddenly stop for something to avoid collision, or god forbid, been in an accident, I have no doubt he would have been. …”
NHTSA complaint #11462919, filed 2022-05“The back seat will not clip down and the middle seat belt will not retract back. You cannot sit in the back seat because it will not clamp to the floor”
