1995 Saturn S-SERIES Coupe

DT: THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAD THE CONSUMER'S MOTHER SIT IN THE SEAT. THEY ADJUSTED THE SEAT FOR HER AND THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE, NOW IT IS STUCK IN THAT ONE SPOT AND IT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO GO ANY FARTHER BACK. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL WAS THAT THE SEAT WOULD SLOWLY MOVE BACKWARDS WHILE SITTING IN IT. AFTER THE DEALER TRIED TO FIX THE SEAT THEY STATED THAT, THAT WAS THE BEST THEY COULD DO. THE CONSUMER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE HE COULD NOT MANUEVER GOOD ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.*AK *SB *NM

IN THE SPRING OF 2002, I BOUGHT MY COLLEGE-AGED DAUGHTER A 1995 SATURN THAT HAD ON IT 4 NEW FIRESTONE FR 680 P175/70 R14 TIRES. THE TIRES NOW HAVE ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON THEM. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT TO ME THAT ONE OF THE TIRES WAS DEFECTIVE. IT HAD, HE SAID A BROKEN INTERIOR BELT THAT HAD WEAKENED THE TIRE TO THE POINT THAT IT COULD HAVE BLOWN AT ANY TIME. [THE TIRE HAD NO TREAD LEFT IN SPOTS AND ALSO HAD A BULGE.] I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND AM ALSO COMPLAINING TO FIRESTONE. BUT I WANTED TO REGISTER WITH YOU THE FACT THAT AT LEAST ONE TYPE OF THIS TYPE HAD A DEFECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.
