The drivers seat had deteriorated to the point that the frame was loose and the padding was exposed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who diagnosed that the fronts drivers seat needed to be replaced. The front drivers seat was replaced. The air bag sensor, vehicle stalling and failure with the key not turning in the ignition continued to recur. The contact was included in NHTSA campaign id number:14v047000 (air bags and electrical system) and the authorized dealer stated that the part would not be available until mid April.
