ON MARCH 05, 1999 AT 7:14 P.M. I WAS THE VICTIM OF A REAR END COLLISION. THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY SUBURBAN, PLATE# 3SLU868, COLLAPSED. AS A RESULT I SUFFERED INJURIES TO MY NECK AND RIGHT SHOULDER. AS OF TODAY I HAVE NOT RECOVERED AND CONTINUE TO BE UNDER THE CARE OF STANFORD/UCSF MEDICAL CENTER. THE SEAT FAILED IN A MANNER IDENTICAL TO WHAT I HAVE FOUND ON YOUR TEST PAGES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS SEAT IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS DIRECTLY AND SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED TO MY INJURIES. I IMPLORE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS EVERY ACCIDENT AFFECTS THE LIVES OF AMERICAN CITIZENS AND OUR GNP. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WORK SINCE MY ACCIDENT AND AM CONSTANTLY IN GREAT PAIN. TYPING THIS EMAIL IS PHYSICALLY DIFFICULT FOR ME. PLEASE RESPOND WITH ANY INFORMATION WHICH YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS MATTER. *AK

MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS AND ONLY 43,000 MILES, WITH THE FIRST TIME BEING AT ONLY 8179 MILES! THE DEALERSHIP'S EXCUSE IS THAT "YOUR VEHICLE HAS SEMI-METALLIC BRAKE PADS WHICH WILL NOT LAST LONGER THAN 12,000 MILES" THIS IS BALONEY! NO VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE ITS BRAKES REPLACED ANNUALLY (OR MORE)!
