| While driving my caravan the drivers seat back, fell back. i feel this is a safety hazard. the car has not been abused. we are not too heavy. if i had been on a winding mountain road or in the process of stopping my vehicle, it could have cause a deadly accident, as it was, it was a very startling experience. i am thankful that i was going at a reasonably slow speed. i can not see any excuse for a car seat to break, like this one has. if the drivers seat broke out of the clear blue sky, i am left to wonder about being in a accident with this car. what in the world would come apart in the seat construction to cause this problem? it should never happen. the seats are not electric. there is a side arm to adjust the seat. a front arm to move the seat back and frontward. i always (until now) drive w/the seat in the most upright position. thank you. dt | |||
