Consumer Description

DRIVER SEAT RAIL BROKE... I BARLEY MOVE THE SEAT.. I'M 5'3" AND MY DAUGHTER IS 5'2" SHE JUST STARTED DRIVING AND TRIED TO MOVE THE SEAT UP JUST A LITTLE THEN WE HEARD A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND THE SEAT DID MOVE UP, BUT IT WAS SLOW.. THAT'S WHEN I CHECK TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND THE RAIL THE SEAT IS ON WAS BROKE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO CLEARLY IT'S NOT OUR FAULT.
