Looks like you should ride the bus. if you go through front seats in one year in a Chevrolet, it is likely that the seats in any other car will also go out on you. the seats on a bus are very rigid and won't break off. I have been in accidents where the seats in my Chevrolet didn't even break. you must torture your cars. A Japanese car could not take the abuse you put into you car, nor a dangerous Ford product. You know some Japanese cars last as long as American cars, it just comes up to how you drive your car.
Sounds like you got a lemon! Most of the other reviews have been really good, sorry for your luck! I might even buy one soon.
