| Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway. I heard a pop and the seat tilted to the left. My first instinct was to swerve and i narrowly missed hitting the center divider. Once i calmed down and recovered, i drove home. I probably should not have done that. When i came home, i looked underneath the seat and observed the seat bracket assembly cracked at the weld. I contacted the dealer and was told that this is very common. I am not sure what very means. Cost of repair is $1700-2500. He recommended going to a body shop to have the part welded back together. |
