NHTSA complaint: 2003 SATURN SATURN — SEATS
I HAD A THREE-CAR ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY 258 SOUTH IN TARBORO, NORTH CAROLINA ON JUNE 1, 2003. MY CAR IS A SATURN SL1 2003. THE LADY IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO COMPLETE STOP MAKING A LEFT TURN. I THEN QUICKLY STOPPED BUT THE COUPLE BEHIND ME WERE NOT ABLE TO STOP. A MAJORITY OF THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR TOOK PLACE ON THE BACKEND. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT MADE MY CAR HIT THE LADY IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS AS IS THE CAR BEHIND ME. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE DRIVERS BUCKET SEAT. AT IMPACT, THE SEAT COLLAPSED BACKWARDS. I SEE MANY YOUNG CHILDREN THAT SIT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER AND THINK THIS IS A VERY BIG RISK. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAR THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. *AK
