| Seats problems |
While driving, the passenger side seat collapsed and the lever sheared off. The driver 's side seat collapsed as well. The dealer repaired the driver's seat twice but the passenger still has the problem. The consumer has contacted the dealer for an appointment to bring it in for repairs. Please fill in additional information.
Power driver's seat tracks and adjustors rock back and forth when stopping and starting. This create a potentially dangerous situation where driver can lose control of vehicle or have reduced braking force.
Though it catches and stays in place, the drivers seat moves without changing its actual location, if that makes sense. It doesn't slide around from where you position it (forward or backwards) so it catches and locks, but when you brake or accelerate the vehicle, the seat isn't firmly stationed on its frame and slightly moves (juggles around, I guess). This scares me because I worry if it will break loose from the frame during a wreck or such and cause the driver to be injured by the steering wheel or such. (and as stated before, I just bought the vehicle on 09/06/2016) without knowing about this problem. (didnt notice on half mile test drive. ).
