Purchased vehicle from a dealer about a year ago+. Driver and passenger front seat always rocked slightly and today I was driving came to a traffic light and driver seat unlocked and pushed forward! If there have been a vehicle in front there would have been an accident! Major safety issue! Please help...what would these cost me to repair? How do I proceed?
