The J.D. Power study, in case you are wondering, is based on more than 77,000 owners or leasers of new 2017 model vehicles that were registered between November 2016 and February 2017, and it asks the people about their experiences with the seats during the first 90 days they’ve had the vehicles.

This is the fifth year in a row that Adient (and its previous form) have been recognized in this study.
