Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, CAME TO A STOP SIGN, THEN STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ALL THE SUDDEN MY SEAT BACK BROKE AND FOLD BACKWARD, IN A LAID DOWN POSITION, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BACK DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I REMOVED THE BROKEN SEATS, AND INSTALLED TWO NON ADJUSTABLE SEATS FROM A OLD AURORA, USING THE ORIGINAL SEAT BRACKET, WHICH BOLTS THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR PAN. THESE SEATS ARE UNSAFE ALSO, BECAUSE WHEN I REPLACED THE SEATS, THE BOLT HOLES IN THE FLOOR BECAME STRIPPED WHILE REMOVING THE BOLTS. I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY LONGER. *TR
