Consumer Description

THE BACK RIGHT WELD ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BROKE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION TO BEING UNCOMFORTABLE, I CANNOT BELIEVE HAVING A SEAT THAT IS NOT FULLY ATTACHED TO THE FRAME WOULD BE SAFE WERE I TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL SITES REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE OF THE FAULTY WELDS ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I'M SURPRISED TO FIND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET. ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SENSORS, FOR WHICH I AM ALSO SEEING MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR
