I'm driving a shopping cart here

I got my wheelchair on March 9, 2008. I was quite pleased with it.

In the two-plus years:

• Lots of the red plastic has broken off. 
• The pleather back has cracks. 
• The arms wobble. 
• The pleather on the armrests has holes in it. 
• The batteries, which were bad from the beginning, were replaced. 
• The joystick comes off easily, and the joystick skirt is ripped. (It's just this little rubber housing at the base of my joystick; Mom and I decided to call it a skirt.) 
• I am on my third swing-away controller arm. 
• Plugging in the charger is real hard and the charger often buzzes.
• The foam pads on the lower parts of the arms ripped and I took them off. 
• The footplate top is not flat on the footplate bottom.
• And now, one of the front castors is behaving just like a faulty front wheel on a grocery cart. It wobbles and spins.

I know I use it every day, but seriously? Wheelchairs need to last five years to get help paying for it.

Add in the horribly designed controller and I wonder if this POS qualifies as a lemon.
