SEATS
FRONT LEFT CORNER OF UPPER FRAME BROKE ON DRIVER SEAT WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. RESULTED IN A SEVERE ROCKING MOTION. INSPECTION LED TO CONCERN OF IMMINENT TOTAL FAILURE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN THIS SEVERAL TIMES AROUND THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE. TOTAL FAILURE WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO LOSS OF PRESENCE OF DRIVER DUE TO DRIVER FALLING BACKWARD INTO REAR SEATS. THIS CORNER OF SEAT TAKES FULL LOAD OF DRIVER ON ENTRY AND EXIT AND SEEMS TO BE PRONE TO FAILURE. I WOULD CONSIDER LOSS OF DRIVER SEAT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE.*AK
