The right low beam light went out, tried to replace it and found out that this is impossible to replace by the owner. It requires removing the front bumper and special tools over $300 at the dealer to replace a headlamp. Meanwhile one light. Having headlights is a safety issue! also the driver side seat frame broke under normal use and can no longer be adjusted

The back right weld on my drivers seat broke. I was driving one day and heard a loud pop and it sounded like my seat skipped groves in movement, but my seat is power. The back right weld snapped and I feel this is a manufacture problem. I weigh 206 lbs so it's not an issue of being too "heavy" and recent posts say it can cost up to 1000$ to fix. I find this should be a recall.
