“Front passenger's seat has totally reclined several times while my husband was sitting in it and I was driving (about 50mph). This problem can cause back injuries, would be a problem in a crash, and I cannot put my child's safety seat in this car until I pay for a $377 part (a nut) to get it fixed.”

NHTSA complaint #703394, filed 1999-02

“Something is wrong with the seats on this car-- when you lean on the inside of them, putting your full weight against only the inside of the seat, it falls backward suddenly. This is a big problem when tending to baby seats fastened in the back., behind you. You lean in to help baby, and wham the chair falls into a full recline. This happens with both seats, and even with very lightweight adults. Should someone be driving when they lean, it could mean a massive safety hazard. …”

NHTSA complaint #755684, filed 2001-12
