The driver's seat of my vehicle has developed a squeak. When i took it to the dealer they were not sure if the bolts securing the seat have loosened or the welds have cracked. All i'm told is bring it in and they will tell me how much it will cost to repair it. Reading similar complaints, this seems to be common problem and should be subject to a safety recall. *tr

The driver's seat bracket or mount is broken and the seat is set facing slightly toward the left pillar. In investigating this situation we found that bracket failure is a very common occurrence for this model. This is a hazardous condition and warrants a recall due to its frequency. This is my wife's vehicle and she is unsure about when the failure first occurred. *tr

The bracket under the seat snapped in a few different places, it looks like it was bad welding. I found online that many people had the same problem. I have tried to weld it back into place, but it only breaks again and again. It makes my seat very uncomfortable and it used to squeak, but i found a way to fix the squeak on my own. The whole seat moves forward because the back is not attached at all, very unsafe. *tr
