| 1998 | SEATS | DRIVER FRONT SEAT BRACKET BROKE AWAY DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN CAUSING ME TO BE FORCED INTO A LYING DOWN POSITION AGAINST THE BACK SEAT. MY HANDS WERE PULLED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. I BROKE A CUP HOLDER ON THE CONSOLE IN ORDER TO RIGHT MYSELF AND JUST MISSED A TELEPHONE POLE. I HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOS OF THE BRACKET AND SEAT AND WILL BE GLAD TO EMAIL THEM TO YOU. I AM IN A PISSING MATCH WITH THE DEALER AS TO WHO GETS TO KEEP THE DEFECTIVE BRACKET. I WONDER WHY THEY DO NOT WANT ME TO KEEP IT?*AK |
