This is a 2006 Corvette with roughly 82,000 miles. The driver's seat will intermittently collapse on the recline function, resulting in a seat that is reclined all the way back. When this occurs, I need to pull myself up by the steering wheel while the vehicle is going down the road.
RECENTLY WHEN I MADE A TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC THE CORVETTE STEERING DID NOT RETURN TO CENTER I ALMOST HIT HE VEHICLE AT THE STOP SIGN !!!!!! I ALSO NOTICE THE ABS LIGHT ON
THE DRIVER'S SIDE METAL SEAT FRAME WAS SHATTERED INTO 3 PLACES. THE SEAT WOULD NOT RECLINE PROPERLY, AND AS I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED: THE SEAT WAS FLOATING LOOSELY IN THE CAR WHEN IT ARRIVED AT HIS SHOP. THE CORVETTE HAD ONLY 29,900 MILES ON IT, WAS NOT A DAILY DRIVER, AND HAD ONLY SEEN RECREATIONAL WEEKEND USE. THE CORVETTE WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT, ALWAYS GARAGED, AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. AS AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE SEAT FRAME THAT LED TO THIS FAILURE. THE SEAT HAD ONLY SEEN 29,900 MILES OR LESS OF REGULAR, EVERY DAY USE BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE WERE HAIRLINE FRACTURES IN THE METAL SEAT FRAME BEFORE IT WAS INSTALLED IN MY CORVETTE AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. FAILURES IN BOTH THE SUPPLIER'S...
