Underneath the front seat where a small pipe connecting the seat to the rails broke off at the weld. This made the driver seat to lean to the right and moves from side to side while driving. It's very unstable! It will be a cause of death or injury since the seat belt is part of the system. Upon closer look, it appears the job was not done properly. Poor welding and poor workmanship is very obvious upon inspection.…

In july 2014 i received a recall notice on the transmission shift cable. Stating that it may fracture at any time. I have tried to get the car in to get this issue fixed but once again, i'm being told that there are no parts in yet. This could be a extremely bad thing. This car is not safe to drive. *tr
