Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“This car has the worst backseat headrest. They're too high and talk and obstruct the rear window when driving. Creates a terrible blindspot on both sides of the back window. Actually got into a car accident in a parking lot pulling out of my spot. Since I did not have the clear visibility the driver behind me pulled out and I couldn't react in time.”

NHTSA complaint #11078616, filed 2018-03, 21,000 miles
