| Description of the problem | The driver side electric seat frame broke in 2006 and i was told i could buy a new one but they are so cheaply made i had it repaired by a experienced welder who told me the metal was really thin and cheaply made. It broke again in 2008 in a different location on the same seat and i had it repaired. Then it broke again in another location on same seat in 2009. Now to start off jan. 2012 it broke in 2 places of the seat frame and i don"t know what to do. It is a very dangerous seat and i looked on line for a few moments and found thousands of complaints on the same seat from 2004 and down a few years. If something is not done about this someone could be hurt or killed. |
