The driver's seat base continues to separate from the seat riser frame. the seat base has been replaced 7 or 8 times by the dealer since 2004. it is now broken again and has been for at least a year. i have only 048409 miles on this van and i am the only driver since new. i weigh only 200 lbs. and i don't think it is my fat ass causing the seat to come apart. after giving a friend a ride into town a few weeks ago, he told me the front passenger seat didn't feel right. he was correct, the passenger seat is in the same shape as the driver's seat, broken! i need help please. *tr | |||
