## Narrative
I reached between the driver seat and center console to retrieve my keys. When I pulled my hand back up something on the seat sliced my hand open and I needed 5 stitches. After looking closely at both the front seats (driver and passenger) there is a very sharp piece between the seat and console on both seats. Chevrolet corporate was contacted and they said to take it to a dealer so it doesn’t happen again. My vehicle is scheduled to be inspected by a dealer on 12/08/21.   1. Sharp piece on seat and yes it’s available for inspection  2. Hand was cut when reaching between seat and center console resulting in 5 stitches.  3. Chevy corporate said thanks for letting them know and advised taking it to a dealer so it “doesn’t happen again.” The local dealer scheduled me for an inspection but did not say whether or not this is something they’ve heard before.  4. The vehicle will be inspected by a dealer on 12/08/21 (the soonest they had available).  5. No warnings/messages prior to incident
