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.
The driver seat mechanism failed during mild acceleration, causing the driver to be thrown backwards. The seat tilt mechanism has a plastic and metal gearbox that broke causing the seat to swing forward under braking and backward under acceleration. This causes control problems as the movement is about 1 foot. The dealer was pressured to replace the failed part and claims this is the first time it has ever occurred. The truck was 15 months old at the time of failure with 56,000 miles on the odometer. The part has not been improved, so I am looking at replacing this mechanism every 15 months! this seat tilt mechanism on the power seat is not designed properly.
