Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front left power seat has cam bars for the various positions tilts to the seat. when i went to reach back for the seat belt one of these cams broke. now there is not any "tilting" to the seat anymore and the whole seat can rock back and forth 2-3 inches. i realize that this part of the power seat mechanism is not in regards to anchoring the seat to the body. however, because of this breakage, it can not be very safe to be driving in case of an accident. on the seat there are only 3 more "anchor points" to secure the seat in case of an accident. plus the seat "rocks" as you are driving(braking,accelerating). is this an issue or am i off base in my thinking? i realize that the car has many miles but this should be a pqs regulated item. i have owned the car for over 60,000 miles and it has never been in an accident.your time in this matter is greatly appreciated! thank you!
