    - COLUMBUS, IN

    THE MECHANICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FRONT CUSHION MOTOR AND THE FRONT OF THE SEAT FAILED, ALLOWING THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 8 INCHES ON THE REAR SEAT PIVOT. THIS ROCKING MOTION RESULTS IN THE LIFTING OF THE DRIVER'S FOOT FROM THE BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL, AND A POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. IF BACKING UP, ESPECIALLY WHILE ON AN INCLINE, AND THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE SEAT WILL ROCK TO THE REAR, LIFTING THE DRIVER'S FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS HIT TOO HARD IN DRIVE, THE FOOT IS LIFTED FROM THE ACCELERATOR, RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.. *AK
