Consumer Description

ACCELERATING FROM STOP SIGN TO 40 MPH, DRIVER'S POWER SEAT FRAME BROKE AT A WELD POINT ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. MECHANIC SAYS IT CANNOT BE RE-WELDED. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT, ANOTHER SEAT FROM A JUNK YARD CANNOT BE FOUND. DEALER SAYS SEAT FRAMES ARE ON BACK ORDER. I AM WORKING WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO FIND A FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE SEAT BROKE LOSE, THE DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL AND ANYONE IN THE BACK SEAT COULD BE INJURED. *JS
