Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The seat constantly deflates when it's pumped up to the tallest setting. Driver has to keep adjusting seat height while driving. I have a healthy bmi and only weigh 150 lbs. This should not be happening. Very dangerous, especially when it's hard to see over the dash.”
