Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver's seat broke at welds on two support bars. Seat leaned to the right. Became very dangerous since seat belt is attached to the seat near the breaks. In the event of a collision seat probably would have broken loose and caused serious injury or death. Contacted GM about the problem and were advised to fix seat ourselves since it was not a recall item. (we did have the seat replaced.) we do have the broken seat in case someone from the NHTSA would like to inspect it. I noticed that there are numerous other drivers who have complained of the same problem. …”
