Consumer Description

I GOT INTO MY CAR AND SAT DOWN AND SOMETHING UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT BROKE. LOOKS LIKE A SUPPORT BAR WELD CRACKED. NOW THE SEAT IS TIPPED TO THE RIGHT. IF I RAISE OR LOWER THE SEAT, ONLY THE LEFT SIDE GOES UP AND DOWN. I'M NOT SURE IF THERE IS ENOUGH STRENGTH HOLDING THE REST OF THE SEAT TOGETHER. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL, SINCE I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN FIND MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE, SO MY CASE IS FAR FROM ISOLATED. *JS
