2010 Polaris RANGER 800 Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Brand	POLARIS
Model	RANGER 800

File date	09/10/09
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This vehicle is a four wheel drive, mid-engine, off-highway vehicle. The seat base is connected to the frame by way of two plastic, mushroom shaped, prongs along the front edge of the seat and two tabs along the rear edge of the seat. There is one prong and one tab on both the left and right sides of the seat. The tabs fit into slots on the frame at the rear, and the prongs are pushed down into holes with retaining clamps, thereby securing the seat to the frame. In older models, the prongs were metal and affixed to the seat base. In this model, the prongs are part of the molded plastic seat base. The engine is located under the seat. The heat produced by the engine softened the plastic prongs, allowing them to flex, crack, and break off of the seat base. This allows the seat base to come loose from the frame and slide forward. The rear tabs pop out of the slots in the frame, rendering the seat base unsecured from the frame. The seat is unstable and interferes with the driver's ability to control the vehicle. When the seat slides forward, it opens a gap between the seat and the engine compartment, exposing the driver and/or passenger directly to the engine heat. This has happened on two separate occasions. The first time, i was negotiating a steep, downhill trail in very rough terrain. All of my weight, and the weight of my passenger were on the front edge of the seat. When the seat broke loose and became unstable, i had difficulty controlling the vehicle due to my having to use my legs to keep my body from sliding forward. The first defective seat was replaced under warranty. The replacement seat also failed in a similar manner, while again coming down a steep trail on february 12, 2010 at 1433 miles. The manufacturer subsequently denied the second warranty claim.
