    Mid/Rear Assembly · Seats

    The rear seat was always tough to get it to stay locked in place after folding the seat down. At 70,000 miles, one half of the 60/40 seat would not stay locked in position, after being folded down. According to the dealer, the whole seat locking mechanism needs to be replaced at a cost of $300.

    Air Bags · Seats

    On four separate occasions (while car was in motion and in park) my front passenger seat alarm was alerting me to buckle up but i am always the only one in the car/no one is riding in front passenger seat. On that same side (front/right) an air bag panel keeps popping out/will not stay in place and i am very afraid there is a recall on my car and no one is aware of it. Would like to figure out how serious this is.…
