Description of the problem | Driver's seat rocks and moves while car is moving. Manufacturing company says that there is nothing wrong with this and that its "normal". This is not normal and its dangerous. It becomes very easy to lose control of the car while it is moving! The ntsb board has a number of similar complaints by other drivers, so i am not the only one. This needs the company's immediate attention and correction. It shouldn't do this for any reason.*ak |
