problem #1

May 011999

Sunfire

  • miles
The passenger seat after 32,000 miles will no longer move forward or backward making it a safety issue for the passenger sitting in that seat. When I took the car to taylor Pontiac in akron, they told me that the tracking would have to be replaced and told me it would cost around $150 for parts and labor. A friend of mine also has the same problem with his 95 Sunfire. I find it hard to believe that this is just a coincidence. My car has low mileage and the passenger seat has not been abused for this problem to be happening. I have never filed a complaint about any car that I have owned but I have had several problems with this car since I have purchased it and it has already been recalled twice. I do not think I should have to pay for this repair and would appreciate any help concerning this matter. Thank you.
