1991 BMW 525I User Comment / Complaint

While sitting in my 1991 bmw 525i the seat suddenly fell backward,and sideways. after removing the seat, and almost completely dissassembling it so i could try to realign the thing long enogh to make it home,i was able to through brute force put it back in place. later after several subsequent failures i was able to pinpoint the problem.the cables that go between the electric drive motors and the seat adjustment gearboxes were sheathed in a failure-prone plastic! the plastic through time wears and stretches untill the drive cable slips out of gearbox allowing catastrophic failure. i just checked to see if this item had been recalled with no luck.
