1993 Saturn SC Seats Problems

“Front passenger side seat back collapses randomly and quickly. This is very dangerous and could cause spinal injuries in the case of and accident. The passenger complained of a sore neck. I went to the Saturn dealer and they said that I would have to purchase a new seat even though they know there are defects in the 1993 seats.”

“Reclining mechanism fails after a few years of use, which results in sudden recline of driver seat. Nearly caused me to crash on one occasion, after hitting the breaks and the pressure of my body made the seat recline. After contacting Saturn, they told me the reclining mechanism was not recalled on the earlier models (before 1994 or 1995, I can't remember). I feel this is a problem, as the cars aren't that old when the mechaism fails. I have replaced the passenger seat already in 1999 , with the drivers seat unrepaired at this time. …”

“Drivers seat collpased backward. Car parked, no damages. Dealer charged $160 to replace seat adjuster mehanism, drove home and seat ben nackwards again; dealer said seat frame bent. Says this is common on early saturns. Internet seach showed this to be problem with 94 saturns with a recall at one time for that year.”

“Consumer was rearened by a vehicle with a 1 MPH impact, at the time of impact driver's seat fell backward, could have caused injuries. Manufacturer stated seat was suppose to collapse ,and that was a safety feature. The seat failed before the accident.”

“Vehicle was rear ended while stopped and driver's seat went all the way back into full recline position. Consumer suffered whiplash and back pain. Vehicle was totalled.”
