“On april 10, 2015 approximately 7:50 am, I was driving east bound on sand lake road orlando florida in the slow lane when a white dodge stratus suddenly appeared out of no-where turned into the flow of traffic causing me to hit his passenger side of his car. Unfortunately the air bags did not deploy and I injured my left hand, left knee as well as got whiplash. ..updated 05/07/15”

NHTSA complaint #11253621, filed 2019-09, 170,000 miles“While driving down the highway I could hear what could best be described as a combination click and snap. At the same time I felt the lower left side of the drivers seat move. After further investigation (pictures available), I found that a supporting bracket has sheared in two places. This causes the seat to be very loose. One of the power seat functions will cause the seat to raise up only on the right side.”
