| Description of the problem | While moving the second row, passenger seat, behind the driver, my right-hand, pinky fingertip was amputated. I was rushed to emergency and they could not reattach it. I have a 12 year-old child and i am concerned that this could happen to him or another passenger or younger child. This has been a horrific experience for my entire family and myself particulary because this should not have happened while moving a seat. There is a definite design flaw that needs to be corrected. *ak |
