I FOUND FIVE RECALLS ON THE SAFECAR.GOV SITE, YET I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THEM. IN APPROXIMATELY 2000-2001, I HAD A FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT, WHILE TRYING TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK FOR MORE ROOM, WHERE THE BACK FELL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO A RECLINING POSITION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT STAY UP. THE DEALER AT THE TME REPAIRED IT AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $1,100.00. SOMETIME LATER, I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER LATER ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE SEATS, AND TOOK IT TO JOLIET DODGE, JOLIET, IL, WHO IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING, TELLING ME I HAD ALREADY HAD IT FIXED, AND REFUSING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST TO REPAIR. FAST FORWARD TO JULY 2014. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK BY USING THE LEVER FOR THAT AND PUSHING BACK WITH MY BODY, THE SEAT BACK TOTALLY FAILED AGAIN. IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND WILL NOT STAY UP. BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR, AND THE FACT THAT I AM A RETIREE ON ONLY SOCIAL SECURITY FOR A VERY LIMITED INCOME, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TH

YESTERDAY I HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THE TRUNK LID FELL ON MY NECK WHEN I WAS UNLOADING MY TRUNK. THIS CAR HAS AN ELECTRICAL TRUNK THAT OPENS AND THE TRUNK ALSO, HAS A SPRING AIR ROD THAT CONTROLS THE HOLD OF THE OPEN TRUNK. I KNOW THIS FAILED BECAUSE THE TRUNK JUST LOST ITS HOLD ALL OF A SUDDEN AND LANDED ON MY NECK. AS I TRIED TO LIFT IT FROM ABOVE ME (ITS VERY HEAVY- BIG TRUNK), MY LEFT HAND INDEX FINGER BROKE AND MY LEFT ARM AND HAND ARE IN PAIN. NOT TO MENTION, THE SEVERE PAIN I AM UNDERGOING WITH MY NECK. I ALSO BLED A LOT AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I BELIEVE THIS CAN BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE WEIGHT OF THIS TRUNK DOOR AND THE DEVICE BEING RELIED ON FOR THE CONTROL OF TRUNK. *TR

I WAS PARKING ON A PARKING LOT AND LOT HAD A STRUCTURED SMALL POST ON THE DRIVER SIDE; DUE TO VISIBILITY THAT THE VEHICLE LAMP OMITTED TO LIGHT PROPERLY, I DAMAGED THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER BUMPER. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CORNER LAMP ASSEMBLIES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE REFLECTORS. THIS LAMP DOESN'T HAVE THE REQUIRED AMBER SIDE REFLECTORS DON'T WORK WELL CAUSE I CAN BARELY SEE (NOT LIKE MY OTHER CARS). THERE IS A RECALL SET ALREADY FOR PART NUMBER CS114-U0BJ2 WHICH IS A COMBINATION CORNER AND LAMP ASSEMBLY FOR THIS VEHICLE. I AM ASKED TO CONTACT SABERSPORT WHO IS DOING THE RECALL (RECALL ID#09E012000 EXTERIOR LIGHTING); HOWEVER, THEIR NUMBER IS DISCONNECTED AND THEIR ONLINE CONTACT NUMBER IS A WRONG NUMBER. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T THINK ITS RIGHT THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS. EVEN UPON REPAIRS,I NEED THE VEHICLE WITH CORRECT LAMP ASSEMBLY SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. NEXT TIME, COULD BE A WORSE ACCIDENT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

THE MOLDING BETWEEN THE HOOD AND THE WINDSHIELD FLEW OFF AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY. I WAS DRIVING LIKE I NORMALLY DO ( APPROX. 65MPH), WHEN FWY IS CLEAR OF CARS; THIS IS NOT REASON ENOUGH FOR THIS CAR PART TO FLY OFF. LUCKILY, FWY WAS CLEAR, IF NOT, I COULD OF HAD AN ACCIDENT SINCE IT AFFECTED MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. ONCE I REPLACE THIS, I WONDER IF NEXT TIME... WILL I HAVE AN ACCIDENT? HOW TO ASK THEY INSTALL IT SO IT DOESN'T FLY OFF? DEALER SAYS THEY MUST INSTALL IT PER MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS BUT THE NORMAL WAY IT COMES FROM MANUFACTURER DOESN'T WORK CAUSE IT EVENTUALLY FLIES OFF. I NOTICED THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS REGARDING SAME ISSUE WITH NHTSA. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE NECESSARY FOR IT TO BE RECALLED? *TR
