| Description of the problem | The second row passenger side seat is extremely difficult to fold down. I have been to the dealership 5 times already and it is still not fixed. I'm about to have to make a 6th trip. This can be a very dangerous situation as my son sits in the third row and if there's an emergency it's likely he will not be able to fold the seat down to escape the vehicle. |
