Example complaints

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

“Rear center seat belt retractor assembly pre-locks when the rear seat is placed in the extended cargo position. This defect prohibits the use of right outboard seating position as well as the center seating position since the seat back cannot be returned to the use position. I have informed the dealership many times over the last several years in attempts to resolve this shortcoming. Dealership has been unable to correct the root cause of the problem. …”
