Consumer Description

THE CABLE RELEASE FOR THE REAR SEATS FREEZE UP AND THE CABLES BREAK. THIS COULD TRAP SOMEONE IN THE BACK IF RIDING IN REAR, OR 3RD ROW SEATS. IF THE CAR CATCHES ON FIRE AND A PERSON WHO CAN'T CLIMB FORWARD OVER THE SEATS, IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING ON WHAT COULD HAPPEN. I FEEL AS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON GENERAL MOTORS. MINE BROKE AND I AM UNABLE TO FOLD MY SEATS FORWARD. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN AND THE CABLES RUST AND SNAP WHEN BOTTOM OF SEAT IS FOLDED FORWARD, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO RELEASE THIS WAY.
