This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Middle row bucket seats do not always latch easily. When not locked down, the seat springs forward while driving, causing passenger in child safety seat to slam into the seat in front. My daughter's head was somewhat protected by the "wings" on the sides of her child seat, but her forehead showed a mark from the impact, and her mouth was bleeding as a result of the incident. The vehicle was not going more than 15 mph, and was decelerating for a stop sign at the time. The child safety seat was secured with the latch system, so the seatbelt was not in use.
Another vehicle was traveling at 45 mph and rear ended consumer.'s vehicle. Consumer driver's side seatback collapsed on impact. Consumer suffered from neck and leg injuries.
The rear seat back was reclined for cargo. When the seat hadle was pulled to raise the seat back to the upright position, the seat back sprung forwards violently striking my wife in the head causing injury. The seat back is apparently spring loaded with no mechanism to control the release of the spring load.
