2009 Pontiac G6 seats complaints

Yesterday, in the above-mentioned vehicle, I was making a left turn at about 25 miles per hour when the driver's seat and my body shifted abruptly and radically. I almost lost complete control of my car, but, fortunately, I avoided having an accident by braking to a quick stop. I immediately took the car to the car dealership where I had purchased it, sherwood delray beach, and had the service department examine the car for the problem. They diagnosed the problem and advised me that the seat base (anchor) was broken or otherwise defective and that had been the cause of the above described incident. I purchased the vehicle in april 2009 and the odometer is now approximately 32,500 miles. The vehicle has been used strictly for general light-duty personal use since it was purchased, has been meticulously maintained, and has not been in any accidents of any kind whatsoever. I know of no possible reason why this driver?s seat base/anchor has broken or otherwise failed other than it is defective. Therefore, it is my belief that this is a bone fide safety defect in this model automobile which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death. Accordingly, I am reporting this issue to you for you to investigate. *tr updated ivoq 11/15/12
