Consumer Description

WE NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC PANEL COVERING THE DRIVER'S SEAT CONTROLS CAME DETACHED. SHORTLY AFTER THE SEAT BEGAN ROCKING SLIGHTLY. FINALLY, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE SEAT NOW ROCKS FREELY. IT IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WHILE THE SEAT RESPONDS TO ALL MOVEMENT. IT WILL NO LONGER ALLOW YOU TO INCREASE THE INCLINE OF IT, SO IT'S RECLINED AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT STARTED AS TWO SCREWS BREAKING FREE FROM THE DECORATIVE LEVER COVER QUICKLY TURNED INTO A MAJOR STRUCTURAL ISSUE.
