THE SEAT TRACK LOCKING SYSTEM DOES NOT ALWAYS HOLD. THE LOCK FAILS THROWING THE SEAT BACKWARDS ON THE TRACK WHEN PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN FIRST AND LETTING THE CLUTCH UP TO GO FORWARD. AFTER THE 2ND OCCURRENCE, , AFTER I ADJUSTED THE SEAT I PUSHED THE CONTROL LEVER DOWN FEELING IT CLICK IN. PERFORMING THIS EXTRA CAUTIONARY MOVEMENT HAS NOT ALWAYS HELD THE SEAT IN PLACE. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED THIS JULY, 2002. I WILL TRY TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE.*AK
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HIT A DIP IN ROAD AND SEAT SEEMED AS THOUGH IT WAS FALLING BACKWARDS. ALSO, HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM SEAT. SEAT APPEARED TO BE LOOSE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH SEAT. PLEASE ADD VIN. *AK
