SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
THE METAL SEAT FRAME HAS FAILED AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER AND SEPARATED FROM THE POWER SEAT TRACK. INITIALLY THE SEAT APPEARED TO BE SLIGHTLY LOOSE, BUT THE INSTABILITY OF THE SEAT HAS INCREASED. NOT ONLY IS IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE IF I WERE INVOLVED IN A CRASH, THE SEAT FRAME WOULD FAIL AT OTHER POINTS AND POSSIBLY CAUSE INJURY. I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND AM 6'1" AND WEIGH 185 LBS. MY WIFE OCCASIONALLY DRIVES THE VEHICLE BUT SHE WEIGHS LESS THAN I DO. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I CANNOT ENVISION WHY THE METAL SEAT FRAME WOULD FAIL ABSENT A DEFECT.
