Seats
Driver seat weld broke at the rigjt rear and left front without being in an accident. I was sitting in the seat and went to adjust it and it broke on the way up, then the left side on the way down. I have seem on the internet that there are several complaints to gm and nearly all are denied to be repaired at dealers cost. This is a safety issue that should be looked at asap.

Seats
When driving my car, it felt and sounded like the seat popped out of its track. The seat now leans in towards the center of the vehicle. You can pull around on it and feel it moving. The seat is not tightened down to the body of the car.
