“I was at the denver car show and looked at this model. With the rear hatch up the rear seats can be folded down via a button/latch when reaching in to the back. The rep demonstrated this manever and the seats released so forcefully with a slam that it could (and eventually will) injure or kill a child or pet severely. I was shocked at the snap-like, force and loud bang onto the seat once released. When standing on the ground and reaching in the back of the vehicle one also can not see what is in the back seat before pushing the button making matters worse.”
