What owners wrote
While driving at 30 MPH, another vehicle skidded in the direction of the consumer's vehicle, when the consumer tried to avoid an collision, the consumer lost control of the vehicle and slid into a pole. Upon impact, the driver and rear seats failed without warning. As a result, all three occupants sustained back injuries.
The driver's side seat foundation broke and came of the track. This caused the seat to start reclining backwards. This occurred because a weld on the seat had fracture. The consumer feels the seat would have separated from the structure in the event of an accident.
