The other seat works okay for now but we are concerned it may do the same. We believe this is a safety issue. In an emergency we wouldn't…

The 2nd row seats will not open, preventing access to the 3rd row seats. This is a significant safety concern b/c in the case of an emergency the 3rd row passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle. It appears the cable mechanism that opens the 2nd row seats is defective.
