Front Seat Power Adjust Problems of GMC Savana

Driver's side power seat bracket breaks off at the base very easily. This vehicle is a starcraft conversion of a 2001 GMC Savana van. This bracket has broken off 4 times since the van was purchased new in 2001. This has to be a safety hazard, as the seat will be very prone to breaking off in the event of any collision. This is a $600 repair each time. The gm customer service representative has ignored our latest communication with him. The most recently broken seat bracket was installed in may 2006, and broke March 3, 2007, so has lasted less than a year. This is a lightly used family vehicle, not used for any commercial purpose.

Safety hazard! the electric driver seat is not square with the steering wheel. The seat position makes the driver set at an angle to the right of the wheel so if the air bag is deployed it will hit the driver in the right shoulder and on the left side of the head and twist the body around. The way the driver seat is angled the air bag will never hit square with the body . This is a safety hazard as the air bag will cause the body to twist as opposed to hitting you square and holding you face forward . I feel it will crowd the driver towards the drivers side door in a twisted condition. GMC and auto form and the dealer have been notified and I am told I will have to live with this safety hazard as they cannot correct it and they are all in agreement that there is a definite problem. Again that I will have to just live with. I hope that the vehicle is never in an accident with the air bag deployed and multiple deaths and or permanent injury as a result of this safety hazard.
