| 2010 | SEATS | SAT IN DRIVER'S SEAT, STARTED IGNITION, AND AS CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT (UNDER THE THIGH) AUDIBLY POPPED. THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT NOW CLEARLY ONLY WORKS UNDER THE RIGHT LEG. GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, RAISING THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT AND PUTTING PRESSURE ON IT SHOWS THAT RIGHT SIDE REMAINS SUPPORTED AND LEFT SIDE COMPLETELY SAGS, LEAVING THE DRIVER EITHER TILTED, OR SEATED AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENT. POSTURE AND SAFE DRIVING POSITION ARE DEFINITELY COMPROMISED, AND I AM SEEKING TO GET THE SEAT FIXED. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER MENTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM IN SUBARU OWNERS ONLINE FORUMS. *TR |
