NHTSA complaint #10969697, filed 2017-03, 114,000 miles“The larger middle bench seat gets stuck and often won't fold down from its up position; this began several years ago, I've just been living with it. Recently it also began to get stuck in both positions -- won't fold down when up, and also won't unfold back up when it's been down.
