1 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2015

The backseat headrests do not remain in the upright position. They slide down with the slightest contact from the person's head. The maintenance/service person at the dealership indicated that there has been numerous complaints from owners. He indicated that at this time it is a "no fix" problem. This is unacceptable and does not meet the national highway traffic boards regulations on headrest equipment. This is a real safety concern. The service department indicated that a latch needs to be installed to hold the headrest in place. If this is not corrected, people will at some point in time sustain serious injury. I feel like contacting 60 minutes with the problem and your response.

2 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/27/2015

Clock and outside air temp readings are so small, you can't see them, without taking your eyes off the road, long enough to bend over close to the radio. This is as bad as someone using a cell phone to send and receive text. I have driven off the road twice, but have not crashed yet. My gm dealer says, the readings can not be made larger, and to be very careful.
