Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SEAT TURNS INTO A ROCKER AND RECLINED BACKWARDS TOWARDS THE SECOND ROW WHILE IN MID TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS THAT THE SEAT TRAY IS BROKEN AND COSTS TO THE OWNER IS $2500 TO REPLACE IT. SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE INCIDENT WAS NOT PROVOKED AND SEATS LOOKS NEW. I NOTICED DRIVERS SEATS IN MODELS POST 2004 ARE DESIGNED DIFFERENTLY, A ONE-PIECE UNIT INSTEAD OF A TRAY+SEAT. BELIEVE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE PROMPTING REDESIGN OF SUBSEQUENT MODELS. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKING AND RECLINING. ALL OTHER SEATS SEEM TO BE FINE. *JS
