| Description of the problem | Captain chairs on lariat pick-up are unacceptable. The seats appear to have a t shaped substructure, which is pressing up into where the passengers' buttock rest. I can best describe it as sitting on a hard bicycle seat. Dealer and ford indicate that this is not a defect. It is a design issue and will not accept accountability. *nm |
