Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Due to the design of the front seats, there is a metal bar that is not well padded. From all indications this bar affected either the nerves or blood flow in my legs causing them to go numb. This was 1.5 hours into a 5 hour drive that we make several times a month and have never had this issue with any other car. This was the first trip with the new Toyota Avalon Hybrid. The driver side has more padding then the passenger side maybe in attempt to minimize this problem? The lighter the person, the less of an issue this may be. …”
