The rear seats vibrate @ 60 mph+. The seats cause the entire vehicle to shake. I cannot place a child in the seat or an adult for fear the seats will come unhinged. Additionally, sometimes it is difficult to determine if the road is rough or if it is the seats. The vehicle has been inspected by two dealerships (w/ records) but it cannot be fixed. I have reported the issue to Hyundai corporate and have been told it's in my hands and the seat dysfunction is not covered by any warranty due to it being a manufacturing issue. The issue began shy of reaching the vehicle's standard warranty (it has an extended warranty from its original purchase).
