“On the drivers side seat, when seat warmer is on both low or high setting, right side of seat gets extremely hot. It has burned me several times and now my husband was burned when driving the car for 10 min. I feel like this is a fire hazard.”
NHTSA complaint #11311990, filed 2020-02, 65,000 miles“I have a 3 seater, during a rear end collision, the middle seat swung back and locked with the 3rd seat. When the seat locks there is no space between the seats; if some is sitting in the back the legs will be crush during a collision. My 5 year old granddaughter was seating in her car seat and by a blessing of god, she was able to raise her legs because they are short. The middle seat is not properly locked.”
NHTSA complaint #10938372, filed 2016-12, 3,500 miles“My seat belt will not come out to securely buckle in my passengers. I went to the dealer and they said it was the seat framework which is pinching the seatbelt.”
NHTSA complaint #11115751, filed 2018-08, 45,000 miles“Front passenger air bag disabled light intermittently turns on, indicating air bag is disabled, while that seat is occupied. This occurs while in motion, and at any arbitrary time or speed. There is a similar recall on this, but evidently this vehicle is not included, as it is listed as no recalls.”
NHTSA complaint #11064336, filed 2018-01, 25,000 miles“When in gear (drive, reverse, low) the car will vibrate constantly as well as at a stop not just while driving. The seats are constantly moving (vibrating, creaking while turning) when speeding up it hesitates to shift or shifts rough.”
