Description of the problem | This a serious safety issue. Please take this seriously before someone burns alive. The third row seat is a deathtrap. It is immpossible to exit the third row seat when the second row seat is occupied. In case of an accodent or emergency the people in the third row cannot exit the vehicle- they are trapped. It would also be almost impossible for emergency personnel to rescue them if the 2nd row occupants are incompacitated. If the vehicle happens to catch fire the thirdrow ocvupents will likely perish unable to exit the third row. This could be remedied by replacing the 2nd row bench seat with two captains chairs which would allow an aisle to exit from the third row. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please follow-up with me on this matter. |
