Owner's description
THE FRAME HOLDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS VERY FLIMSY AND HAS BROKEN IN 3 OF 4 PLACES HOLDING THE SEAT. THE 4TH LOCATION HAS NOT YET BROKEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT A CRACK HAS BEGUN. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFELY DRIVABLE AND IS PARKED UNTIL I CAN FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE? THE PROBLEM STARTS AS A SQUEAK, THEN A CRACK, THEN THE SEAT IS TILTED AND ULTIMATELY THE BREAKS HAPPEN AT ALL 4 CORNERS OF THE SEAT FRAME. A CRACK AT ALL 4 CORNERS WILL ALLOW THE SEAT, AND THE DRIVER, TO FALL BACK TOO FAR TO REACH THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
