Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving my vehicle and the driver's seat moved back, and the dome light came on. This really scared me! Thank god I wasn't on the highway traveling at a higher rate of speed with other vehicles when this occurred. The first time this happened was approximately 3 months ago (the seat moves back, I move the seat up & it goes back again, I move it up again...until it finally stops). This continues to happen periodically every since.”
