Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On october 17, 2017 I picked up my vehicle at the body shop after having the driver's seat replaced because the welds broke. Today, april 27, 2018 I returned to the body shop for the same issue. The welds are broken on the right side of the seat. I have attached a photo of the right front weld. I searched your database for this issue and did not find it.”
NHTSA complaint #11090399, filed 2018-04, 97,774 miles“Started car and began adjusting seat. Car was still in park. Heard a loud pop and then the driver's seat tilted up and I was left in an awkward position. Tried to move seat again, seat jerked and wouldn't not adjust to proper position. Took car to dealer and they said the weld on the frame broke. Driver's seat now slides around when you're sitting in it, including during driving. Found out I was only one of dozens with similar issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10825060, filed 2016-02, 110,000 miles“At first, my 08 Saturn AURA's drivers seat stopped working, and I could no longer move it. I assumed the fuse was out, so I replaced it. Within one day, my seat stopped working again. I went to someone and they suggested I try a fuse with a higher voltage. They placed the fuse for me and my seat worked for a moment and then blew the fuse. I couldn't afford to take my car to the dealer and have them run a diagnostic, so I decided to deal with my seat not being able to move. …”
NHTSA complaint #10546008, filed 2013-09, 75,000 miles“I was turning the corner when the seat shifted to the left and then the seat broke. When I looked under the back of the seat it looks as if the seat broke apart from the bolt that was holding it in place.”
NHTSA complaint #10567843, filed 2014-03, 63,109 miles“Noticed as I got in my car, the driver's side seat tilted. My dealer told me that the frame snapped and would cost approx. $1,200 to fix. This is a potential safety issue and the frame should be recalled.”
