The driver's seat appears to be set too low at the back of the seat. The sides of wings of the bucket seat are too high near the rear of the seat. Due to the poor design it causes the driver to position themselves away from the left side wing either forward or forward and towards the center console. I worry that due to the poor seat design sitting properly positioned within the seat is not possible because you can not sit comfortably. It appears online that many complain about the driver's seat. During an accident I believe greater personal bodily injury could occur to a driver because of the poor seat design and not being properly seated in the seat. I have ridden in the passenger's seat and it does not appear to have the same issue. It might be the outer plastic shroud on the left side of the driver's seat that causes the improper seating within the vehicle. I worry for my safety, my family's safety and other driver's safety because of the poor seat design.
