Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Around march 23, 2020 I noticed my drivers seat moving when I accelerate or slow down. I thought the problem was loose hardware so I was going to tighten the mounting bolts over the weekend. When I started to tighten the hardware I found it was all tight. But the seat continued to move about. That weekend I removed the driver's seat and found the front right mounting point torn out of the sheet metal. The threaded re-enforcement tab had torn through the sheet metal used at the seat mounting point. …”
