Consumer Description

DRIVERS SIDE RECLINER HAS FAILED (4) TIMES. PASSENGER SIDE HAS FAILED (1) TIME. ASIDE FROM THE INCONVEIONCE OF TAKING THE CAR TO BE REPAIED AGAIN AND AGAIN.I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE.IF I DRIVE SOME PLACE AND RECLINE THE SEAT AND IT BREAKS IN THE RECLINED POSITION THE CAR IS NOT SAFELY DRIVABLE FROM A PRONE POSITION. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS AND/OR SITUATION. I HAVE TALKED TO SOME GM PARTS COUNTER PERSONS.I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING AND COMMON PROBLEM. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY AN INDEPENDENT UPOLSTRY SHOP WHICH DOES THESE REPAIRS ON A SUBLET BASIS. I HAVE EXAMEND THE PART , I AM NOT AN ENGINEER BUT I KNOW THAT SUCH A CRITICAL HIGH STRESS PART SHOULD NOT BE MADE FROM SUCH A SOFT MATERIAL. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM WILL BE APRECEAITED. THANK YOU. SINCERLY MARK L. STEWART
