Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2009
File date	16/01/13
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I am 195 lbs and began entering the vehicle in my garage and sat down on the drivers seat and heard a sound from the bottom of the left front side of the seat. Felt that the seat was lower than the right side as well. Inspected to find that the front left bracket that supports the bottom of the seat had broken. It appears that two very small welds hold the bracket to the seat and both had broken and are unable to sufficiently support the seat. Attempting to raise and/or lower the seat does not work as well since the left front side cannot function correctly.
