What owners wrote
Consistent gas mileage 25% below fuel economy numbers on manufacturers sticker; rocking front seat motion that causes seat belts to tighten and fail to properly release; thunking sounds from shock absorber sub-assembly on uneven or rough road surfaces; multiple squeaks and rattles.
My wife was driving and all of the sudden her seat (drivers seat) dropped (towards the drivers door) about causing her to lose control of the vehicle. After inspecting the seat, with no weight on it, attempting to raise the seat it would only raise on the side towards the middle of the car. This is a very dangerous situation for someone who raises the seat in order to see over the hood.
