| Description of the problem | I was washing my car and then wanted to vacuum it out. I moved the driver seat forward and the back of the drivers seat detached and fell in the back seat. I could not fix it so i took to the dealer who initially wanted $ 1,200. 00 to repair. They eventually put the seat in place and told me never to move it again. This is crazy it is a power seat. This has to be a defect from factory. Had i been driving when this happened i would have been looking up thru the roof and most likely have wrecked. |
