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.

THE BAR IN THE BRACKET ON THE SUN-VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THAT HOLDS THE VISOR IN PLACE AND ALLOWS IT TO SWING, KEEPS FALLING WHILE I AM DRIVING. I KEEP PUTTING IT BACK UP BUT AFTER A WHILE IT WILL FALL AGAIN. ALSO THE SWING BAR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT, THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT TO MOVE UP, DOWN, BACK, AND FRONTWARDS KEEPS COMING LOOSE. THERE IS A BOLT THAT SCREWS IN THE BRACKET ON THE BAR AND WHEN IT COMES OUT THE SEATS FALLS TO ITS LOWEST POSITION AND THE MOTORIZED SEAT MOVEMENT WILL MOVE BUT AND ALLOW THE AHEAD TO BE RAISED BUT WILL FALL AS SOON AS YOU SIT ON IT OR EVEN IF ADJUSTED WHILE DRIVING IT WILL FALL. BOTH OF THESE ARE SCARY TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND COULD CAUSE A PERSON TO LOOSE CONTROL IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING.

ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT THE ROCKER PIECE THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT TO MOVE UP AND DOWN AND FRONT TO BACK. THE PIN IN IT KEEPS COMING LOSE. ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS STARTED TO FALL FROM ITS HOLDER AND HANG FROM THE WIRE FOR THE MIRROR LIGHT. I FEEL THAT BOTH ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN PROBLEM DRIVING.

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.
