Seat recliner handle breaks off. Weak design. The seat can be left in an unusable position. Both the driver and passenger seat recliner handles have failed. The driver side failed at about 20,000 miles and the passenger side failed at 30,000 miles. I believe the drivers side handle is about to fail again as it is becoming loose.

My power steering system has always made a noise when I make left or right hand turns. I have reported it to the dealership on two occasions, but they never found anythin wrong with it, and now it is not under warranty. They said that they couldn't duplicate it but it happens every time it is driven, so I don't see how they could've missed it. Also, the recliner lever on the driver side seat broke off at the metal after the warranty had already expired so I guess I'm out of luck with that.
