THE HOOD OF MY CAR COLLAPSED INTO AN ENORMOUS DENT WHILE PARKED IN A PRIVATE GARAGE. WHEN I WENT TO TO A BODY SHOP TO GET IT FIXED, I WAS SHOWN THAT THE METAL IS VERY FLIMSY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE HOOD. WHEN THE GENTLEMAN DROPPED THE HOOD BACK DOWN TO CLOSE IT, THE DENT ALMOST ENTIRELY POPPED OUT ON ITS OWN.

ALL SEATS SEPARATE FROM THE BASE OF THE SEAT, MEANING THERE IS NOTHING HOLDING THE CUSHION THAT YOU SIT ON TO THE WIRE FRAME ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY SOLUTION AFTER 7 ATTEMPTS OF FIXING WAS TO PUT ZIP TIES THROUGH THE NYLON SEAT MATERIAL AND CONNECT IT TO THE BASE. THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM SINCE THE THIN NYLON WILL JUST RIP UNDER PRESSURE.
