| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driver front seat bracket broke away during acceleration from a stop sign causing me to be forced into a lying down position against the back seat. my hands were pulled from the steering wheel as well as my foot from the brake. i broke a cup holder on the console in order to right myself and just missed a telephone pole. i have digital photos of the bracket and seat and will be glad to email them to you. i am in a pissing match with the dealer as to who gets to keep the defective bracket. i wonder why they do not want me to keep it?*ak |
