Seats
My vehicle was stopped at a traffic light. I was struck in the rear end by a minivan traveling about 50 mph. The drivers seat back broke at the bottom hinged area and left me lying flat on my back, still in the seat. This sent my feet flying straight up causing them to strike under the dash and breaking my toes. *tr

Seats
I sat in the driver side seat and the seat completely broke on the right side. I'm now sitting slanted and being squashed against the middle console/arm rest. Whenever i get out of the car, which is very hard to do and drives me bat crap crazy, i feel i need a crane. Sitting slanted is very uncomfortable and is very hard when judging making turns/parking. *tr
