What owners wrote

Received recall notice fom manufacturer for seat recliner hinge pinch point. Can't get dealer to repair because they don't have parts. Vehicle has been taken in twice, and several calls have been made , each time they say to call back. They do not have the parts yet.

The vehicle's driver side seat back bolt broke without warning. The bolts attached the seat back to the seat frame broke which caused the seat to recline all the way back and not lock into position.
