Description of the problem | The driver side seat broke when i sat in it. The seat now leans to the right and rest against the center console. I had a gm dealership look at it and they said there is a broken weld on the right side and they would need to replace the seat frame at a cost of $1,000 (parts and labor). They said this is a safety issue and i should replace it to avoid possible injury in case of an accident. I don't think a seat weld should give way after 93,000 miles under normal operating conditions. I have been the primary drive of this vehicle and i'm considered in my weight range at 160 pounds. *js |
