SEATS
THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING A 1994 LINCOLN TOWNCAR WITH 122000 MILES. THE DRIVERS SEAT LEFT FRONT SEAT BOLT THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE ANGLE IRON FRAME PULLED OUT OF OR THROUGH THE METAL OF THE SEAT. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY EXTREME FORCE ON THE SEAT OTHER THAN DRIVING. I WEIGH 200 LBS. AND DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE EXCESSIVE. I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A POSSIBLE DANGER FOR DRIVING AND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGERS SEAT COULD TEAR ITSELF LOOSE CAUSING ADDITIONAL INJURIES. *TR
