PART HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY MANUFACTURER AS MAY FAIL, HAS NOT FAILED IN OUR VEHICLE, NO RECALL, THINK IT IS UNSAFE, REQUEST NHTSA INVESTIGATE FOR POSSIBLE RECALL

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBACKS ABRUPTLY SLIPPED INTO THE RECLINING POSITION UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. (IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY WHEN IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE FIRST, NOT SO FUNNY WHEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT STARTED TO DO IT.) ON 12/31/98, I PAID OVER $300 TO HAVE BOTH SEATS REPAIRED. I TOLD THE SATURN DEALER THAT THIS SEEMED HIGHLY UNUSUAL AND DUE TO A FAULTY PART. I WAS ASSURED IT WAS NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR." NOW THE SAME YEAR (1994) SATURNS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MY DEALER SAID MY CAR IS NOT WITHIN THE "VIN RANGE." I THINK IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THIS IS A COINCIDENCE OR DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I FEEL I AM DUE A COMPLETE REFUND ON THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE REPAIR. *AK
