Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Two issues: the driver's seat was unable to latch down. At the dealer, they stated that a pin had broken. They replaced the entire seat base. At our request, they provided us with the broken seat base. Upon my inspection, I noticed that a c clip had come off of a pin. As a result, the seat locking mechanism slid off the pin. Therefore, the seat would not lock into place. I inspected the passenger seat. A clip had fallen off of this seat and was lying on the carpet in the rear passenger seat section. …”
