NHTSA complaint #10026416, filed 2003-06, 2,000 miles

“Dt: the rear seat has no locking mechanism, when the seat is pushed up there is no lock to keep it locked. There is an arm that pulls out and attached to the back. On the back of the seat on the diagram it shows there is a lock, but on the consumer's vehicle there is no lock. Noticed this on august 26, 2005; when the seat came down to rest in its position, it makes a loud noise. It is so loud that one would think the consumer was involved in a car accident. Contacted the dealer, they didn't know what direction to go with this.”
