Rear seat, wouldn't fold & tumble properly. Seems to be a common issue. My 17YO took it in, they looked at it, said they needed more time to fix it. He hasn’t rescheduled another appointment, but he has found a way to reach back and pull on the wire inside the seat mechanism and get it to operate, not correctly, but work. From what I understand, even with the “fix”, they go back to failure very shortly.
