NHTSA Complaint #11046574 — 2016 CHEVROLET TRAX

THIS INVOLVES THE DRIVERS BOTTOM SEAT ASSY. WITHIN 10,000 OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, NOTICED THE FOAM PADDING WAS BREAKING DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT CUSHION. WHEN THIS OCCURS, YOU END UP SITTING ON A ROUND STEEL TUBE WHICH IS PART OF THE SEAT FRAME. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE GM DEALER REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY, WITHIN APPROX. 10,00 MILES AGAIN THE SEAT CUSHION HAS DEGRADED TO THE POINT OF SITTING ON METAL. I THEN CONTACTED CHEVROLET SERVICE, SEE SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER: 8-3426353686. AFTER DESCRIBING THE ISSUE, WAS CONTACTED BY THE DEALER, TOLD THEM WAS A DESIGN FLAW, TOLD CHEVROLET THIS, WAS THEN TOLD TO REPLACE WOULD COST MONEY. I WOULD HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THIS EXCEPT THE SEAT IS POORLY DESIGNED AND NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED.
