1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2007

Cavalier coupe LS sport 2005: the driver's seat reclining system is unstable. You can feel it move and acting loose while driving. It was not like this when first purchased. The car was taken to the dealership and they could not do anything to make it stable again. Their only response was, that this was normal, with time it becomes loose. It is unacceptable to make seats that feel fine at first, and a year later, become in that condition. You drive with your back rest unsteady and erratic. This can cause back/neck problem in the long-run. (also, the front seats are very uncomfortable, unpleasant especially if you have a long commute, it absolutely has no head-rest since they are leaned back too much, making it impossible to drive normally with your head rested against it. Plus, the front seats reclining system won't allow you tilt it forward much, consequently driving rather leaned back more than usual, on your seat. ).
