1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 02/27/2019

Driver seat, front bottom left corner metal bracket holding seat in place broke. Seat acts like a "rocking" chair constantly. Very difficult to drive as you are always shifting in your seat.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2018

Bracket that holds drivers seat to base made a popping sound today when approaching a stop sign, and after accelerateting from the stop sign the drivers seat began to recline. Upon further inspection I discovered that the I bracket that holds the seat to the base had sheared off. This bracket is riveted to the seat itself but sheared off adjecent to where it is riveted. This is a huge safety concern, the sear should not break from daily use! this is an issue that needs to be addressed as it could become potentially fatal.
