Discovered two wires that tore through the fabric on the back of the drivers seat. These exposed metal wires are sharp and can easily cut somebody if they should rub against them. Something has failed inside the seat. Multiple people have the same issue on a dedicated online forum for this vehicle. Not isolated.
