Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

MY 4 MONTH OLD CHILD'S FACE WAS DEEPLY SCRATCHED BY THE SHARP CHEST CLIP THAT COMES STANDARD ON ALL EVENFLO CAR RESTRAINT SYSTEMS. I BOUGHT THE CARSEAT FROM BABIES-R-US. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED MY MONEY BACK FROM EVENFLO AND THEY TOLD ME TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE CARSEAT, WHICH I DID. BUT THAT NEGLECTS THE ISSUE OF THE CHEST CLIP BEING WAY TOO SHARP TO EVER BY ON ANYTHING MADE FOR BABIES ANYWAY. I NOTIFIED THE MANAGER AT THE STORE BUT. GOT NO WHERE. MY BABY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN INJURED. I DON'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE'S CHILD TO GET INJURED EITHER. A CHILD COULD GET INJURED IN THE EYE AS WELL. THE SCRATCH WAS VERY CLOSE UNDER HIS LEFT EYE. THANK YOU, J. JOHNSON *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE REMEDY FOAM LINER FOR MY SEAT I WAS TOLD THAT MY SEAT (MODEL # 3891609P1) IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CAR SEAT. MY SON IS ABLE TO PULL BACK THE LINER AND PULL OFF PIECES OF THE STYROFOAM AS WELL. *TR

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.
