Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1. i was driving from san diego to fresno, on i-5. about 70 mph. i stretched, and leaned back into the seat, when the seat flipped backwards far enough to cause me to loose sight of the road. fortunately, i was holding the steering wheel tightly enough to raise myself quickly and regain control of the vehicle.*ak 2. a metal bracket that connects the seat to the floor track broke, causing a loss of rigidity of the seat. 3. i will have to replace the part, or get it welded, in order for the vehicle to be safely driven.
