| Description of the problem | My wife was driving down the road and made a left hand turn and the driver's seat suddenly tipped to the right. What had happened is the seat track broke on the left side and must now be replaced. Consequently, the seat tips to the right every time you make a left hand turn. It tilts to the left when sitting in it. I believe that if we were to get in an accident prior to the repair the seat would dislodge from its mount. We had the dealer check out the problem and the seat track assembly is available for order and replacement. It will take 2-4 days to receive the part. This vehicle is only three years old, the repair is over $800 and not warrantied past 36,000 miles. |
