| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Seats problems | |
| Seat Broken problems | |
| Front Seat Heater/cooler problems |
Passenger seat has tipped back; three times. Each time the dealership replaced the hinge pin and put a small sprocket to lock in place. This doesn't seem to fix the problem. The only reason someone hasn't been hurt is the discovery of the missing pins when a passenger is loading into the back.
The GMC van was west bound on hwy 67 and was at a stop yielding for traffic turning onto cr 209. The other vehicle also west bound was not paying any attention to the road while having her head down looking on the floor board and did not see the van stopped and rearended it. She was traveling at 60 mph and never applied her brakes. Upon impact the driver's seat broke completely and when the driver came to he was laid out flat in the seat on the floor board looking up at the ceiling. The passenger sustained severe back injuries from the seat breakage that banged into his back.
While driving child in passenger's front seat noticed seat getting very hot. Consumer pulled over, and saw heater of the seat had burned a hole through the fabric. Vehicle not taken to dealer yet. Please add further information.
