problem #1

Jan 022008

Sportage 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,000 miles
I was recently in an accident in which I was rear ended by a bus. At the instant that the accident happened my airbags went off and my drivers seat collapsed backwards. After the accident I looked at the seat and saw that the hinges that hold the cushion and seatback together both snapped causing the seat to collapse backwards. It is a good thing no one was sitting behind me as their legs would have been crushed.
