37 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2006

The support frame for the drivers side seat failed at approximately 100,000 miles. It causes the car seat to shift as there are only 3 support points instead of 4. I had a mechanic attempt to fix it but that only lasted until 150,000 miles. A moderate to high impact accident may cause the entire seat to come loose thereby nullifying any safety effect a seat belt may have to save my life.
