| Description of the problem | As i got in my 2010 subaru forester the driver's seat with less than 60,000 miles snapped. The car was stationary at the time, and i weigh 180 pounds. The welding on the left side of the seat snapped and the seat then sat on the metal bracket underneath. If this had happened while i was driving it could have been very dangerous. |
