Consumer Description

STARTED FROM STOP AND THE BACK OF THE DRIVER SEAT FLIPPED BACKWARDS. I WAS HOLDING ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND AS I FELL BACK MY FOOT CAME OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT SLID FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET UP IN TIME TO HIT BRAKE AND AVOID HITTING CAR IN FRONT. I DID NOT SUSTAIN INJURY. SEAT IS NOW BROKEN. BACK WILL NOT STAY UP AND BOTTOM WILL NOT LOCK IN PLACE. CANNOT DRIVE THE TRUCK SAFELY.*AK
