Consumer Description

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT I FELT MY DRIVER SEAT DROP AND MADE A NOISE. MY SEAT WAS NOT IN SAME POSITION AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE POSITION I NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF MY SEAT WAS NOT SECURE ANY LONGER TO THE FRAME AND WHEN SHIFTING WEIGHT OR TURNING THE VEHICLE THE SEAT WOULD FORCE ME TO THE RIGHT SIDE. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER, BACK & FORTH TO WORK, 43400 MILES, RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN NOT TO MENTION VERY COSTLY (APPROX 1100.00). I HAVE NOTIFIED GM AND ASKED FOR FOLLOW UP ON THIS, SO FAR NOTHING. THIS IS DEFINITELY A STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF SOME KIND THAT GM NEEDS TO RESOLVE. *KB
