| Driver's side seat broke - only 1/2 the side is now attached, happened while i was getting out of vehicle. had i been in an accident, i'm sure i wouldn't be here now. dealer wants $900 to fix. according to auto-parts store, it's common for the seats to break! if this isn't a safety issue i don't know what is! one expects to have to replace certain parts on a used vehicle, but not a seat! the part that anchors the seat in place either has a design flaw, or the parts are stressed and break. i'm very concerned about what may have happened to others. *ak | |||
