Consumer Description

THE REARMOST SEAT IN MY MINIVAN WILL NOT LATCH DOWN ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE. THE REAR AXLE 'MOANS' AT TIMES AND MAKES A ROTATIONAL SHIMMING SOUND. UPON INSPECTION, I AM TOLD THERE IS SEVERE RUST IN THE WHEEL WELL WHERE IT LOCATES TO THE SEAT ATTACHMENT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS UNUSUAL, ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND YOUR AGENCY IS INVESTIGATING JUST THIS THING IN 2004 FREESTARS. *TR
