“We were involved in an accident in sep 2004. Another vechile was knocked into our vechile and my wife's seat did not remain locked in position. He seat slammed forward and my wife received fractures to her leg, and foot. Along with a tear in the mincus of her knee. I have requested that GM look into this isse with the seat, but I do not feel that they are really concerned about the issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10265465, filed 2009-04“The driver's side power seat moved forward without the button being pushed to activate it. It would not stop when the button was pushed to reversed the motion. It stopped only when the seat reached its full forward position. Fortunately, I was parked and could jump out of the car. Had I been in motion, I could have been unable to control the vehicle as my knees would have been smashed into the dashboard and my abdomen would have been smashed into the steering wheel. I took the car to a GM garage where they told me they had never heard of this happening before and they didn't know what to do. …”
