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 seat belt buckle/latch in the backseat is a dangerous defective design that can cause injury. It is available for inspection, see photos provided. Merely taking a seat can result in a bruised or broken coccyx. The car was parked when the incident occurred. No, the problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center. No, the component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance reps or others. No, there are no warnings or messages. The danger is inherent in the design.
While cleaning the interior of the vehicle, I noticed that the rear split bench seat would not lock onto the floor mounting points after I had folded it up to clean beneath it and attempted to return it to it's original position. The rear seats are now secured only by the two shoulder level latches on the sides of the vehicle. While inspecting the mechanism it appears that two of the three latch mechanisms have missing or broken return springs. This worries me because I mount my five year old sons car seat to this bench seat.
