Description of the problem	I have caught the back of my right shoe 4 times( since buying the car in august) when getting out of the car. It catches on the hard plastic on the front left of the driver's seat. The first three times i was exiting the car in town and could have fallen into passing traffic had i not been holding onto the door. The last time my sister was standing in front of me and caught me. I have tried to locate seat covers to cover the piece of hard plastic with no luck. Any suggestions would be helpful. The design certainly needs to be changed.
