The seat back doesn't lock at all times. I can put on my brakes and when I don't have a passenger in the car you can see the passenger seat fall forward when the bkes are appkied and the drivers side seat will also go forward. I hospice an elderly patient with back problems and this a great concern to me. I purchased the car for this purpose of caring for my father in law who lives with my husband and I and on several occassions he has noticed this problem especially when we carry oxygen tanks in the back seat along with other medical equipment that can fly forward should I have to suddenly stop. I would like to know if this is a mantiory safty feature and if so should be taken care of immediatly at the companies expense. This car I purchased had only 22,000 miles when purchased and was a executive driven car of Pontiac and as you can see I have not put on alot of additional milage in 1 year. Your response to this would be greatly appreciated.

The seat back latch does not work. If a sudden stop is made, the seat backs fall forward. Dealer has seen vehicle twice.

While making moderately hard stops the passenger's seatback tilted forward, allowing seatback to slide forward on its floor track, causing violent slamming.
