THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES ASAP. THE SECOND STATES ON THE FORM MAILED TO OUR HOME "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." HOW IS THAT ACCEPTABLE WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR LOOKING INTO THESE ISSUES. MY DESIRED RESOLUTION IS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE ASAP TO GET THEM CORRECTED.
