Consumer Description

THE SEAT BOLTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON AVERAGE EVERY 6-9 MONTHS WE EVEN BOUGHT HIGH TENSION STEEL BOLTS HOPING THIS WOULD HELP IT DIDN'T. THE DESIGN FLAW IS AT FAULT ADDING WASHERS AND TORQUE DOESN'T HELP EITHER. WHETHER THE DEALER OR WE INSTALL THE BOLTS NOTHING HELPS. OUR CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT. WE HAVE ALSO DETECTED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BACK FRAME THAT IT IS CRACKED AND NEEDS TO BE WELDED. MY HUSBAND AND I EACH WEIGH UNDER 200 LBS. YOUR HELP IN CORRECTING THESE PROBLEMS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. DT
