Consumer Description

THE SEAT METAL CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES ON FRONT OF SEAT, SOMETIMES THE EDGES CATCH ON EACH OTHER AND THEN SUDDENLY RELEASES WHEN MOTION IS STARTED. THIS HAPPENED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND FOUND MYSELF LOOKING AT THE HEADLINER OF THE TRUCK (THE SHOULDER BELT KEEPS YOU FROM GOING FORWARD, NOT BACKWARDS) THE SEAT BACK KEEPS YOU FROM GOING BACKWARDS. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE LOWER SEAT CUSHION TILTS UP TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IN TURN CAN PULL THE FEET OFF THE CONTROLS AND AT THE SAME TIME THE CHEST AND HEAD GOES BACKWARDS, THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL ESPECIALLY IF THE HANDS SLIP OFF THE STEERING. I SAW THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS, BUT NO RECALL. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALER AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS.
