Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Diver's seat started breaking, a little at a time. The metal brackets are still good and in place, it is the frame of the seat. It leans back and to the left. It breaks more and more every time you sit in the seat, creaking when someone sits down in the seat. If the controls are set to have the seat pushed back for someone with long legs, the seat leans all the way back and down as if you purposely are trying to lay down. There was an initial loud pop when getting out in june as if something broke, but it didn't seem like anything feel off. The seat now has been getting worse.”
