THE SEATS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSE BOTTOM AND BACK PAIN. AFTER DRIVING FOR 30-40 MINUTES THE DRIVER'S BOTTOM BECOMES NUMB. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DRIVER CANNOT ATTEND TO THE ROAD AS EFFECTIVELY WHILE BEING IN EXTREME DISCOMFORT. THE SEATS ARE NOT WELL-DESIGNED IF THEY ARE CAUSING THE DRIVER THIS MUCH PAIN. ADJUSTING THE SEAT IN MANY POSSIBLE POSITIONS DOES NOT ELIMINATE THIS DISCOMFORT.
