SEATS
I CONTACTED NHTSA SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I WAS INFORMED THAT GM HAD A LARGE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT RAILS IN THEIR VARIOUS VEHICLES. I UNDERSTAND THAT NHTSA HAS MANY-MANY VEHICLES TO INSPECT. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING MY GM DEALER FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS WITH VARIOUS PROBLEMS-BROKEN INTERIOR DOR HANDLE-FAILURE(S) WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS-FUEL PUMP FAILURES-BURNED WIRING HARNASS(WHERE I HAD TO SHOW THEM WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS WAS LOCATED-TRAINED TECHS??-ALTERNATOR FAILURE-AC COMPRESSOR FAILURE-ATC... THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OF COURSE IS THE SEAT RAILS. THEY COULD HAVE BEEN REDISNED AND THE METAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN HEAT TREATED, THE SEAT RAILS HAVE A POOR QUALITY METAL-HEAT TREATMENT WOULD HAVE SPLVED THEIR PROBLEM{S}. I HAVE TAUGHT AUTO REPAIR FOR 30+ YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH SUCH A BUNCH OF NON-CARING ASS HOLES. MADE IN AMERICA-PURHAPS I SHOULD PURCHASE SOMETHING FROM JAPAN-AT LEAST THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS CORRECTLY-DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH LOOSE SEATS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM DRIVING A FOUND ON THE ROAD DEAD CAR-FORD (PINTO). . I HOPE THAT NHTSA WILL TAKE ACTION ON GM AND STICK IT TO THEM. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *AK
