The left front power seat base twists and rocks on its supports. This defect occurred within three months after purchase, the dealer is now installing part #xs2Z5461711aa for the third time. I am concerned that if these seat supports fail this easily, how well will they perform in a crash? in addition, if these continually fail, a stronger brace should be installed, not the same part over and over. In reference to my second problem noted, the brakes shuddered within the first month of ownership. (1/99) the dealer cut the rotors and the problem reappeared soon after. Again I returned the vehicle to the dealer, he informed me that the rotors are not covered under the basic new vehicle warranty. My concern is as follows: If the rotors are warped from the date of purchase, shouldn't the dealer replace them? nonetheless, I recently replaced the front rotors and pads at a sts tire store.
