How can I allow my teen child to sit in the front seat without worry? I can't use my passenger seat! I called the dealer and they were also no help. I drive a lot for work and cannot safely transport people in my front seat. If I get into an accident with someone there and they are injured, then what? I can't believe I'm paying on a defective car! been waiting since September for a remedy.
