 The bracket that anchors the left front 6-way power seat to the chasis has broken for the second time. the previous occurrence was about 9 years ago, and i still have the that part. both times it was in the same location, where the seat track connects to the chasis on the left front part of the seat, and was not the result of an accident. it broke when i leaned back in the seat.i weigh about 195 lbs. i believe that in the event of a minor rear-end collision, unnecessary injury could result. *ak
