Consumer Description

MY DRIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN OFF OF MY CAR OFFERING NO SUPPORT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SEAT ONTO THE CAR BROKE AT THE BASE WHERE THE BOLTS HOLD IT ONTO THE CAR. IF JUST SITTING IN THE SEAT BREAKS IT HOW WELL WILL THIS HOLD UP IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT? GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AT A HIGHWAY SPEED COULD TOTALLY BREAK THE SEAT OFF OF THE CAR AND OFFER NO HELP IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IN MY OPINION THE SEAT SHOULD NEVER BREAK OFF OF THE CAR. THE SEAT AND THE SEATBELT ARE THE ONLY THINGS OFFERING ME SUPPORT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD OLDER CARS BEFORE THIS ONE WITH MORE MILES THAT HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR
