“There is a problem with the construction of the front seats in my 1999, Dodge, Avenger, probably dealing with faulty welds in the frame. On july 1, 2003, after having the seat leaned forward to access the back seat, I returned the seat to its normal upright locked position. However, the seat continued to recline farther than its proper locked position (I keep it at roughly an 80-degree angle, and it improperly reclined to roughly a 65-degree angle). …”
