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.
1) normal wear on seat back latch assembly, by access into the extended portion of the cab assembly; 2) seat back on drivers side and on passenger side fail to lock securly in an upright position, the latches slip under pressure and release the seat back to fold forward. Under hard braking and or an accident the seat back forward movement can acerbate the possibility of injury to either the driver or the passenger. 3), I am looking for new seat back latches.
The vehicle was involved in a collision. The passenger side safety belt had come unbuckled when the collision occurred. The consumer was traveling down the road at approxiamately 30 mph with his/her daughter buckled in her child restraint seat on the passenger side. A young man was backing out of a driveway claiming he didn't see the vehicle and impacted the passenger side. Upon impact, the passenger belt had unbuckled, putting the daughter and her seat to the floorboard.
Front passenger seat failed to remain locked in position with a passenger sitting in it. When brakes were applied passenger's seat would go forward, causing passenger to hit dashboard and into windshield. Contacted manufacturer, and was informed too many miles on vehicle to do anything.
Ongoing problem with driver shoulder belt continuing to tighten upon driver while driving. Driver would have to unlatch belt buckle to get it to release itself. But, problem kept reoccurring. Also, driver's seat moves whenever brakes are applied in a sudden / emergency situation or when jerking the seat back and forth. Dealer refused to repair because vehicle was out of its warranty, and not covered under a manufacturer's recall.
