I made a left turn and heard a loud snap. The seat dropped to the right. Upon my inspection, I found the seat was broken. Also the seat feels like it's loose now and moves whenever I start off and when I come to a stop, along with when I turn a corner... I am sure that this is an issue with my safety, while driving the car.

broken driver's seat

I think Chevy should fix this problem. I'm 73 years old, disabled and can't afford to fix the seat. Got a two by four jammed under it to make it as level as I can, but if the car is involved in a wreck, then I don'r know what will happen.

I drive this car and I'm about 110 pounds. For a couple of days, I heard clicking on the seat when I would make turns. I didn't know where the sound was coming from. My husband took the car to the gas station to fill it up for me and said it was broken. He weighs just under 200 pounds. I thought he broke the seat because of his weight until I remembered the clicking I had been hearing before. Please make Chevrolet fix this obvious manufacture defect! The seat leans to the right against the arm rest compartment. We put a brick under the right side of the seat so I can sit high enough to see/ drive. I realize that if I get I am accident, the seat and safety belt will not work together properly to protect me.
