JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Cathy Rhoden feels her motorized wheelchair is a lemon.

'I've had to replace the motor twice and there are other problems.' says Rhoden.

It turns like she wants it to, but says it breaks too often.

'I'm afraid that the motor is going to go out again.' says Rhoden.

The chair is three years old and cost six thousand dollars. Medicaid paid for it.

Rhoden was told that her weight might be a problem, but she refuses to accept that line of reasoning.

'This was built for me and it is rated at 350 pounds or more,' says Rhoden."
