Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On feb. 24, i was rear-ended while stopped at a red light. the impact pushed my car into the intersection ahead of me. fortunately, there were no injuries. however, my driver's seat was forced into the fully reclining position as a result of the impact. there was no other damage - not even a scratch. my 2-year daughter was seated in her car seat, located in the rear passenger side. if the front passenger seat was occupied, or if the child car seat was positioned behind the drivers seat, she could have been seriously injured by the force of the front seat suddenly and forcefully reclining onto her legs. i am deeply concerned about the safety of transporting my daughter in my saturn. as a result of this experience, i have moved the car seat to the center position. but the seat does not fit tightly there - it moves from side to side. even in the center position, both front seat backs hit the edges of the car seat when they are reclined. *ak
