Safety issue: while traveling at highway speed, the drivers seat right side back support bracket failed. The only thing keeping it upright is the left side bracket and seat covering in tension. In my opinion, a seat bracket should not fail during the life of the vehicle. I do not push back on my seat, as I have seen others in there vehicles to create more space behind the steering wheel. In fact, I sit up close to the steering wheel in an upright position. The vehicle has not been involved in any colisions during the life of the vehicle. I have been driving the vehicle since 5 miles on the odometer.
