SEAT BACK ON BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE FAILED. RECLINING MECHANISIM DOES NOT RETURN THE SEAT BACKS TO THE CORRECT POSITION. THE POSITION OF THE SEAT BACK IMPAIRS THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE CORRECTLY. I HAVE LOCATED TWO CABLES ON BOTH SEATS THAT HAVE SNAPPED AND ARE THE CAUSE. THESE ARE PERMANTE PIECES THAT REQUIRE SEAT REPLACEMENT. I CONSIDER THEM A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
