Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A SLIGHT POP FROM UNDER THE SEAT. UPON ROUNDING A CURVE, THE ENTIRE DRIVER SEAT ROCKED LOOSE 7 TO 8 INCHES SIDEWAYS. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND CAREFULLY DRIVE BACK TO MY HOME. I DISCOVERED THAT INSTEAD OF BOLTS & LOCKNUTS, THE SEAT IS SECURED TO THE SEATFRAME RAILS WITH 4 PINS (APPROXIMATELY 12MM). THE PARTS ARE ONLY HELD TOGETHER WITH PRESS-ON THRUST WASHERS. THESE WASHERS HAD POPPED OFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING SLIGHTLY FASTER I COULD HAVE TOTALLY LOST CONTROL & CRASHED.UPDATED 07-16-15 *BF UPDATED 9/21/2015 *JS
