Description of the problem | When the lever that allows the back seats to come down is pulled, the seats come down extremely quickly, dangerously fast. They appear to be on a spring action. One of my sons pulled on the lever and my other son's head was hit by the seat, and he suffered a concussion! I don't understand why it was built that way!! |
