While vehicle was parked consumer was trying to recline/adjust the seat. The seat reclining handle snapped. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Rear doors won't open from inside and it is not the child deterrent lever on door, heating system overrides A/C heater sometimes dosen't work. Recline lever broke off.
The consumer noticed the driver side seat back reclined backwards after opening the driver's side door. Prior to this incident, the consumer had informed the dealership that the seat was loose and rocked. The dealer provided no assistance. Recall 03V281000 was issued for the high back seat, however, this vehicle was not included in recall due to the vehicle identification number.
Seat recliner levers break off. Back seat passenger(s) must climb over seat to enter or exit. If there was an emergency rear seat passengers would have difficulty exiting vehicle. The cheap metal part that fractured is attached to a $70 part that with labor would be $240 for both driver and passeenger repair. This is more than inconvenience.
