Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY SEAT COLLAPSED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED THE UP AND DOWN SWITCH TO NO AVAIL. THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY SEAT WOULD NOT RAISE AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IN AN AKWARD POSITION. WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $1050 WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD. I AM CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS WAY. I JUST RECENTLY LOOKED ON THE COMPUTER AND SEE THAT THEIR ARE MANY, MANY COMPAINTS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU PEOPLE, NHTSA, HAVE NOT CONSIDERED THIS A PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE. IS GM TOO BIG OR DO THEY OFFER A GOOD SPIFF. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE. BECAUSE OF YOU MANY PEOPLE MAY GET INJURED OR DIE. *TR
