Consumer Description
FRONT LEFT SEAT SUPPORT UNDER DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE LOOSE, CAUSING ENTIRE SEAT TO TILT BACKWARD DURING ACCELERATION ON A CITY STREET. ONLY A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL PREVENTED ME FROM LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ONLY AFTER SEARCHING ON THE WEB DID I FIND AN EXISTING RECALL FOR SEAT "INSPECTION". NO CONTACT FROM MANUFACTURER ABOUT THIS RECALL.
