Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mazda mazdaspeed3. The contact stated that the driver's seat fractured from one side of the frame rail. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the seat frame was fractured and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who offered to cover partial repair expenses. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 51,835.
Driving along a city street, with my 2 1/2 year old in the vehicle, and the left side of the driver seat bracket broke. I have had this happen before in a previous mazda before, a 2003 protege5. In attached photo, the bracket on the middle-right should be welded on to the bar-section in the middle-left.
