Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear seat was always tough to get it to stay locked in place after folding the seat down. At 70,000 miles, one half of the 60/40 seat would not stay locked in position, after being folded down. According to the dealer, the whole seat locking mechanism needs to be replaced at a cost of $300. Furthermore, the part is on a 'national backorder', and I have no idea when this part will be available for installation. I feel that this is a part that should last well beyond the useful life of the vehicle, and is a very odd part to fail. …”
