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.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned" It-??s not exactly failed or malfunctioned as much as it is just a flawed design. However, the problem is that the drivers seatbelt keeps getting wrapped up in the lever to recline the seat. This results in the handle getting pulled off of the seat constantly, the seat unexpectedly reclining when the driver pulls on the seatbelt too hard, or the seatbelt simply getting bunched up in the handle causing it to just become stuck and non functional. Is it available for inspection upon request? It is available for inspection anytime. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When the drivers seat suddenly reclines or the seatbelt fails to engage due to being caught up in another component of the vehicle that-??s a problem. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No although I can duplicate that issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" No.
