Reported on Dec 01, 1999
| THE SEAT BACK DOESN'T LOCK AT ALL TIMES. I CAN PUT ON MY BRAKES AND WHEN I DON'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR YOU CAN SEE THE PASSENGER SEAT FALL FORWARD WHEN THE BKES ARE APPKIED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WILL ALSO GO FORWARD . I HOSPICE AN ELDERLY PATIENT WITH BACK PROBLEMS AND THIS A GREAT CONCERN TO ME. I PURCHASED THE CAR FOR THIS PURPOSE OF CARING FOR MY FATHER IN LAW WHO LIVES WITH MY HUSBAND AND I AND ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS HE HAS NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN WE CARRY OXYGEN TANKS IN THE BACK SEAT ALONG WITH OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT THAT CAN FLY FORWARD SHOULD I HAVE TO SUDDENLY STOP. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A MANTIORY SAFTY FEATURE AND IF SO SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATLY AT THE COMPANIES EXPENSE. THIS CAR I PURCHASED HAD ONLY 22,000 MILES WHEN PURCHASED AND WAS A EXECUTIVE DRIVEN CAR OF PONTIAC AND AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE NOT PUT ON ALOT OF ADDITIONAL MILAGE IN 1 YEAR. YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.*AK | |
