Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact owns a 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette. The 6-way power seat control has an opening that allows the webbing of the seat belt to get caught in the control, which raises the front driver side seat. The failure causes the seat to quickly move forward, knocking the driver's foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. The failure has occurred on several occasions and once it caused the contact to damage his garage door. He then placed masking tape over the power seat control to prevent the failure from recurring. The contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer for an inspection. …”
