I received a replacement power wheelchair from pride/quantum that is "rated for wc19 compliance" but the chair has loose bolts, brackets missing parts, stripped bolt heads, the left side motor/brake isn't connected properly and doesn't keep the chair stopped.And other issues that make it unsafe to use.The reason they sent this replacement chair, is when we (b)(6) healthcare ordered my new chair.Somehow the "occupied transport" option wasn't installed when the chair was built.The same wc-19 took them about 4 months to decide that it would be easier to replace the entire chair, than it would be to retrofit mine so they sent me this current one, with all of its problems.I drive my van from my chair, and it needs to have the occupied transport rating.Quantum claims this chair is compliant but it's clearly missing parts.There are more photos but i'm only including a few due to file size.Fda safety report id#: (b)(4).
