The driverside and passenger side seat recliner levers in my vehicle have broken four times. When these break, the seat lays flat back and you cannot move it up and down. I had the originals replaced at different times, and now again they are both broken. The part is junk, and needs remodeling. It is very unsafe to have this lever broken, because then the seat is broken. Will the seat belt work correctly if I get into an accident? general motors has told me to pay for the parts, but I believe the part is faulty and they should re-design and fix the problem after four times.
