Consumer Description

I WAS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. JUST AS THE CAR WAS STOPPING, THE BACK OUTSIDE EDGE OF MY DRIVER SEAT MADE A LOUD POP AND DROPPED ABOUT 4 INCHES. AFTER I REMOVED THE SEAT LATER, THE WELD, ATTACHING THE ELECTRIC SEAT ADJUSTER TO THE CROSS BAR IN THE BACK OF THE SEAT, IS RIPPED LOOSE OF THE CROSS BAR. THIS SEAT CONTAINS AN AIRBAG IN THE SIDE OF IT. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN AN ACCIDENT, I DON'T THINK THE SAFETY FEATURES WOULD STILL HAVE PREVENTED SERIOUS INJURY. THE SEAT IS A DEALER ITEM AND THEY WANT OVER $1000 DO FIX.
