Reported at 15,000 miles, April 2008 Crash

Drivers seat cushion moves side to side when making turns. Started at about 5,000 miles and gets worse with time. Taken car to dealer three times, first time supposedly was fixed and the next two times could not be duplicated by tech and no action was taken. Appears seat could brake during accident. The seat can be moved by shifting body weight. Doesn't feel like seat frame is loose from the floorboard but just the cushion is not secure to the seat frame.
