NHTSA complaint #10040831, filed 2003-09, 45,670 miles“I have had this car in for this same repair for about seven or eight or more times. Each and every time the dealership claims to have fixed the problem, but the problem still exists. They state that because the seats are working properly at the time that they cannot pinpoint the problem, although the car has been in to be fixed when the seats were not working properly, and they still failed to fix them. I have spent alot of time and gas to try on my end to get this resolved, but to no avail. …”
