| Passenger front seat in 2008 equinox. when exiting the vehicle your right leg pinched between the seat itself and the side molding to the seat. though this not a life threatening situation or a critical hazards, it is neither the less a constant reminder that there is a fault with the design of the seat. the dealership will simply look at the seat and shake their head and look at you as what they want the dealership to do about it. this why i am writing this complaint. *tr | |||

| My 2008 chevy equinox front passenger seat pinches you when you are exiting the car. it grabs your bottom / leg on the right side of seat. i have complained to the dealer and manufacture, they say that is the way the car is made and will not do anything about it. i have had people of all sizes try getting in and out , fat or skinny it hurts everyone. i have even asked another person with the same car if it does it to them , and they said yes and did not know what to do. my husband is the passenger most of the time and he is on blood thinners for his heart. he has to be very careful with the slightest injury to watch for internal bleeding. currently we have to stick a piece of foam on there so when he gets out of car it wont pinch him. we constantly have to do this. i find it unacceptable for a new car i paid 25 k for to do this and the manufacture not willing to fix this defect. it has been like this since we brought the car home in feb. we have complained multiple times with no resolve. *tr | |||
