Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Through normal use of the seat recline mechanism, both passenger and driver seat recline handles have broken off at an internal friction bar. neither seat reclines now and is stuck in the last position used. chevy, or gm, have done nothing about the problem, i have looked into fixing the problem my self, however the entire seat would have to be replaced and is to cost in-efficient for my needs. i have retained the faulty handles, dreaming that possibly gm will own up to defective, poor design and remedy this issue. *tr
