Release cables for the rear seat (second row of seats) tend to stretch or break requiring replacement.

  •  Rookie

    I bought this vehicle new and had this problem fixed at least 3 times while under warranty. I feel they should have replaced but they just kept putting the cable back on the track. In the psst this only happened when the seat was up and we learned how to put it back in, now the seat is down and the cable came off and there is no room to reach under and put the cable in. Any ideas on how to get the seat up?

  • Had to remove double rear seat and have entire assembly replaced with new cabling and reinstalled due to seat being locked in down/flat position.
