“Scion XB 2009 the driver seat has two wires poking out from the back seat. I have googled this issue and found others are experiencing the same thing. The two wires are very strong and cannot be pushed back into the seat. The two wires are also very very sharp. I have cut myself on it and my child have cut themselves on it. This very dangerous warrenty has expired but I feel that the seats should be recalled as they pose a huge danger to passengers. I have no idea how this would affect us if we did get into an accident. …”
