Consumer Description

SCREWS WHICH HOLD THE SEAT BACKS IN POSITION, SHEAR EDOFF, CAUSING LOSS OF SEAT BACK. DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE IF HE FALLS BACKWARD AND IS UNABLE TO SEE . THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED FIVE TIMES ON MY VEHICLE, 3 TIMES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND TWICE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. CHEVROLET HAD A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT, AND MY DEALER REPLACE SOME OF THE SCREWS. HOWEVER, THE FAILURES CONTINUE, EVEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT SCREWS. I AM BEGINNING TO BECOME AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *AK
