SEATS
THE LEFT FRONT SEAT ANCHOR BROKE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT GAVE AWAY THE SEAT LEANED BACK MORE THATN USUAL. IF BOTH ANCHOR IN THE FRONT HAD BROKE AT THE SAME TIME THE SEAT MORE THAN LIKELY WOULD HAVE FELL BACKWARDS DUE TO MY WEIGHT IN THE SEAT. DURING A DISCUSSION WITH A LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE REP MY WIFE WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT FRAMES IN THIS VEHICLE. IF THERE TRUELY IS A PROBLEM OF THIS NATURE SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PROBABLY BE LOOKING INTO IT. *AK
