2002 BUICK PARK AVENUE Complaints

2002 BUICK PARK AVENUE PURCHASED 07/23/02, LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HAS EXCESS MOVEMENT ( FEELS LIKE ONE HALF TO ONE INCH MOVEMENT) EACH TIME I START AND STOP. THIS IS NOTICED, ESPECIALLY, WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING AT TRAFFIF LIGHTS. I FEEL VERY INSECURE, AS IF THE SEAT MAY COME LOOSE AND THROW ME INTO THE WINDSHIELD OR BACKWARD EACH TIME I START OR STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS CONCERN 10/02/02,10/23/02 AND 06/25/03.I ALSO CONTACTED BUICK CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER ABOUT 01/10/03.
