Consumer Description

SINCE I PURCHASED MY EXPLORER IN APRIL 2011, I HAVE HAD TO SEE MY DOCTOR FOR VERY EXTREME LOWER BACK PAINS, I ALSO HAVE TO GO WEEKLY FOR CHIROPRATIC CARE, ACUPUNCTURE AND TRACTION FOR STRETCHING THE VERTEBRAE IN MY BACK. THE NERVES ARE CONSTANTLY PINCHING AND CAUSE SHARP PAINS THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT. I AM NEARLY DISABLED BECAUSE OF THESE SEATS. I CANNOT WORK DUE TO THE PAIN AND FEAR I WILL BECOME PERMANENTLY DISABLED VERY SOON. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR, SO IT MUST BE REMEDIED A.S.A.P.. I HAVE DRIVEN MY DAUGHTERS BORROWED CAR AND HAVE NO PAINS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES I DRIVE. *KB
