Consumer Description

THE SEAT FRAME FOR THE LEFT FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FAILED. THERE WAS ONLY 67,000 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT FOR A WHILE UNTIL I COULD GET IT FIXED, IF THE OTHERBOLT HAD FAILED THE SET WOULD HAVE TIPPED BACKWARDS WHILE DRIVING, I DON'T BELIEVE I WOULD HAV BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IF THAT HAPPENNED. I HAVE KEPT THE VEHICLE AND IT IS ABOUT NINE MONTHS LATER. TEH REPLACEMENT IS BEGINNING TO FAIL IN THE SAME WAY. THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME HTEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN OTHER SUBURBANS, I HAVE HEARD OF THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS AND I SEE THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED IN YOUR COMPLAINT SUMMARY. PLEASE MAKE THEM CONRRECT THE PROBLEM. IT IS SIMPLY A POOR DESIGN AND IF BOTH BOLTS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, IT SEEMS VERY LIKELY SOMEONE WILL GET HURT.
