The front two (2) metal latches that secure the driver's seat to the sliding rail failed resulting in the seat rotating on the rear latches with the driver laying on their back partially in the back seat. Both front latches failed with the metal cracked and sheared. The entire front seat will have to be removed. *akfortunately, the vehicle was not inoperation at the time.

I bought a 98 Chevy Malibu about 3 months ago.it onlyhad 69,000 miles on it at the time.since that time I have had to replace the brakesand buy a new battery.my ABS light pops on and off, my airconditioner cuts on and off by itself, and my car clucks all the time. My friend has the same car and we ride together we recognize the fact that both of our cars are giving us the same problems.
