This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1995 Chevrolet Lumina apv drivers side seat track/frame breaks, causing the back of the seat to recline suddenly. I had a 1994 Chevrolet Lumina apv which was involved in an accident in febuary of 2001, in which the seat track/frame broke. Mine just broke while I was driving. Luckily I was it at a time when there wasn't much traffic, and I got stopped without an accident. I have talked to an upholestry shop and a dealer and have been told this is common on these vans.
While driving at 40 mph consumer was hit from back, causing her to go forward. Then, fall flat because seat reclined, causing injury to consumer. Vehicle was a total loss. Consumer contacted dealer, and dealer gave consumer a claim # to show insurance company.
As I sat down in the seat, I leaned back and when I pushed back in the seat I felt a crack, and the seat proceeded to lean back. When I looked under the seat I noticed that the riser mechanism had broken which now causes the seat to lean back. I checked with GM and it will cost over $500 just for the riser mechanism. No attempt was made to find out what caused the failure.
