Owner complaintsComplaints 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 PURCHASED A CAR SEAT FROM THE DOREL JUVENILE GROUP. THE CROUCH BUCKLE IS ADJUSTABLE. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CROUCH BUCKLE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE SEAT WHILE STRAPPING MY DAUGHTER INTO IT. I CALLED THE COMPANY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. THE CSR SPOKE WITH HER SUPERVISOR AND SHE RECOMMENDED THAT I MAINTAIN TENSION ON THE BUCKLE AND THAT IS PROBABLY WHY IT KEPT COMING OUT AND THE I "SHOULD GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY." I TOLD THEM THAT THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT UP FOR "ANOTHER TRY". WITH MUCH PERSUASION, THEY OFFERED TO REFUND MY MONEY AFTER I SENT THEM PROOF OF DESTRUCTION. I RETURNED THE SEAT TO THE STORE I PURCHASED IT AT. BUT I FEEL THAT THE SEAT IS NOT SAFE THE WAY IT IS MADE RIGHT NOW. *NM

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
