Mid/rear Seats Assembly problem #1

There was no opportunity for failure. However, my husband and I purchased a 2007 Subaru Outback and neither of our car seats fit safely in the back seat of the vehicle. We have the peg perego infant seat and the britax marathon convertible seat. The sales manager, myself, my husband, and the manufacturer's representative could not get either seat to fit in properly. We had to return the car and purchase the more expensive tribeca. The car seat now fits securely in the back seat.

Seat Broken problem #2

Noticed passenger side of electric driver seat bottom did not raise correctly. Removed seat to find broken spot welds on bracket connecting the bar that raises seat front to the seat frame itself.
