| The passenger seat after 32,000 miles will no longer move forward or backward making it a safety issue for the passenger sitting in that seat. when i took the car to taylor pontiac in akron, they told me that the tracking would have to be replaced and told me it would cost around $150.00 for parts and labor. a friend of mine also has the same problem with his 95 sunfire. i find it hard to believe that this is just a coincidence. my car has low mileage and the passenger seat has not been abused for this problem to be happening. i have never filed a complaint about any car that i have owned but i have had several problems with this car since i have purchased it and it has already been recalled twice. i do not think i should have to pay for this repair and would appreciate any help concerning this matter. thank you. *ak | |||
