1 Front Seat Recliner problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2003

On February 14th 2003 I was involved in an accident where I was hit from behind. The backs of the seats do not lock in place so when hit from behind the seatback also flew forward with me. I feel this problem with the seatbacks made my inujuries worse than what they should have been.

Failure Date: 03/01/2002

Driver's and passenger's seats fail to lock on track. Seat moves forward, and can quickly interfere with driving ability. Dealer was notified. Please provide more information.

3 Front Seat Recliner problem

Failure Date: 06/10/1999

Defective driver's and passenger's seatbacks moved unexpectedly which could cause a loss of vehicle control. Also, a "grunt" noise when making a turn which may indicate a problem with the steering system, but the dealer said it was normal.
