2011 Chevrolet Impala seats problems

“"TAKATA RECALL" VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION, WAS PUSHED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HIT HEAD ON. AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED ADDITIONALLY THE BACK OF DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED INTO THE REAR SEAT”

“WELL I HAVE NOT TO MANY COMPLAINTS AS I DO MY OWN MAINTENANCE BUT SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR USED AT 32000 MILES AT 83000 DRIVER SEAT HEATER UNION AND NOW AT 114764 MILES SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHT IS ON DISPLAY AND LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. IT STARTED WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON SEPT 30 2017 IN THE MORNING.”

“I WANT TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST THAT INCLUDES MANY OTHERS REGARDING THE THREE HEAD RESTS BUILT INTO THE REAR SEAT. THEY SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION, AND THUS CAN AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR”

“THE THREE REAR SEAT HEADREST ARE WAY TOO LARGE AND HIGH AND BLOCK THE DRIVERS VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. EACH ONE OF THE THREE HEADREST BLOCK PART OF THE VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT DRIVERS OF THIS CAR ARE BEING FORCED TO DEAL WITH. THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING INTERFERING WITH THE VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE REAR SEAT HEADREST ARE OBVIOUSLY OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE BACKS INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE OR CHANGES LANES CAUSING A CRASH ON A HIGHWAY DESTROYING PROPERTY, INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE. THEN THERE WILL BE A HUGE CIVIL SUIT AND YOU CAN BET THE DRIVER OF THE CAR WILL PREVAIL ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS SAFETY HAZARD HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GM, NHTSA, THE BBB AND OTHERS AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO MANDATE A RECALL TO HAVE THESE HEADREST REMOVED.”

“I PURCHASED A 2011 CHEVROLET 2011 IMPALA LT CAR RECENTLY. I FIND THAT THE HEIGHTS OF THE THREE BACK-SEAT HEAD RESTS ARE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS FOR A DRIVER OF THIS CAR. EACH HEAD REST IS FIVE INCHES TOO HIGH TO SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW. I HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE HAND THAT THE 2011 IMPALA WAS WELL KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR. RECENTLY, BECAUSE OF MY LIMITED VISIBILITY PAST THE LEFT BACK-SEAT WINDOW HEAD RESTS, IN BACKING MY CAR, I BUMPED A PARKED CAR. MY LEFT REAR FENDER STRUCK THE LICENSE PLATE HOLDER OF THAT CAR. THE COST OF THIS FENDER REPAIR WAS $983.00. I FEAR THAT MY DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT CHANGES MADE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE HEAD RESTS IS LEADING TO ANOTHER MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING. TO HAPPEN. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION INTO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU.”

“2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HEAD REST ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE THE HEAD REST REMOVED. SHE STATED THEY WERE TOO LARGE, WHICH BLOCKED HER VIEW.”
