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.

NOTICED THE CHILD CAR SEAT HEAD REST WAS MUCH LOWER THAN I HAD SET IT. THE POSITION OF THE HEAD REST ALSO AFFECTS THE POSITION OF THE SHOULDER BELTS. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE HEAD REST AND THE ADJUSTMENT KNOB SPUN FREELY. LOOKING AT THE BACK OF THE CAR SEAT, THE JACK SCREW THAT ADJUSTS THE HEAD REST HEIGHT BECAME COMPLETELY DISENGAGED FROM THE HEAD REST CAUSING THE HEAD REST TO FALL TO ITS LOWEST POSITION. THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE JACK SCREW IN PLACE HAD NO NUTS HOLDING THE BRACKET TO THE CAR SEAT. THE FAILURE RESULTS IN IMPROPER POSITION OF THE HEAD REST AND SHOULDER BELTS WHICH PLACES THE CHILD IN SIGNIFICANT DANGER IN AN ACCIDENT.
