Description of the problem	While driving i noticed my third row seat was bouncing some, when i stopped i found that the latch holding the seat down was unattached. When i took it into the dealer he said that it is rusted through. I had my special needs son in that seat, hit his head but nothing major. Unfortunately i now am unable to transport my special needs son because he has to be in the third row seat. My drivers side wheel well is also totally rusted through and water is getting into the car. I am not sure if it is related but my traction control light is always off and on along with the tire pressure indicator. I already replaced the pcm last year when my car became un-drivable due to major electrical issues.
