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.

SEAT BACK ON BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE FAILED. RECLINING MECHANISIM DOES NOT RETURN THE SEAT BACKS TO THE CORRECT POSITION. THE POSITION OF THE SEAT BACK IMPAIRS THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE CORRECTLY. I HAVE LOCATED TWO CABLES ON BOTH SEATS THAT HAVE SNAPPED AND ARE THE CAUSE. THESE ARE PERMANTE PIECES THAT REQUIRE SEAT REPLACEMENT. I CONSIDER THEM A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
