Narrative

My Infiniti driver's seat malfunctioned, crushed and pinned me, and ripped my hip out of socket when I was extracted. I'm being scheduled for surgery for a labral tear. Seat malfunctioned again in the Infiniti Roseville parking lot, and the Infiniti agent stated, on video, that the seat "motor is going out." The supervisor on duty, Micah, refused to fix the seat and Infiniti Roseville texted that the death trap seat is "operating as designed." I have the video clearly showing the seat malfunctions and is a danger to myself, my children and everyone on the roadways. The officer attending the scene when I was trapped and injured stated I'm lucky to be alive, because if the seat malfunctioned while I was driving and the airbag went off while I was pinned to the steering wheel, I would be dead. The dash had every light on possible when the seat malfunctioned and froze entirely. The car is available to be inspected, and I'm terrified to drive it if the seat is plugged in because it will crush me again. Photos and videos available if I can email them.
