Have noticed that the driver's seat is leaning towards the back and right. Took it to the dealership and was told there are broken welds on the frame. This should not happen. Seems like it makes the car dangerous to drive.

I got into my car and the driver seat collapsed on the back-right side. After inspection, I found that the weld broke, causing my car to be extremely unsafe to drive! I have found numerous complaints online and numerous complaints filed with the federal safety agency for this issue. Why isn't an official investigation being conducted regarding this defect? I feel that this should be considered a safety recall and gm should be responsible for the cost of the repairs!

The wiring on my vehicle has always been messed up causing my check light engine to stay on at all times. I've had multiple machinists look over my vehicle and have spent lots of money trying to get this issue fixed.
