My aid freaks and says don't move. He lifts the chair and drags the left chair leg, attached to my foot out from under it. Luckily my oversized footplate caught the weight of the chair. The leg was destroyed on the chair. At the shop they have four other legs off TDX 3's and SP's, all same thing. All are considered operator error, including mine! I won't stop there. There chair rolls to a stop when i let off the joystick! I'm use to it stopping, silly me. I am having all these stupid control problems. Seriously, i do not recommend this chair and I plan on contacting the state attorney general if I don't start getting some answers from the folks at invacare.

I used the chair for 2 years b4 going to a 2S model. It's been sitting in my garage as a backup and was only used three times while my 2s was being serviced. I'm in another new chair (C500 with RS seat) and I can't use 3 chairs. It only needs batteries, rubber and 2 minor pieces to get road worthy. I'm in NJ and I'm looking for an individual who needs it as a primary, or an upgrade to what their in now. The chair was $25K new. I'm not looking for anything back. Just want to see it goes to someone who really needs it. Please reply to me only....I don't want to clog the list Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do!
