Description of the problem | I had some warranty work perform on my 2010 gmc acadia. I received my car back from the dealership and needed to reinstall my two forward facing car seats in the second row seats for my two children. I had buckled my 2 year old child in the installed car seat behind the driver's seat while i was doing other work in the car. At some point, i pushed the driver's seat memory button 1 which had been set for my driving preferences. I didn't notice that the seat moved backwards and also into a recline as a result of the automated memory seat. I only noticed when my child began screaming because the driver's seat back was pushing into her legs and continuing to move into her. She was thankfully not seriously injured as a result of this, but i am concerned that she could have been. After the incident, i estimated that she had about 2 inches of space for her legs between the back of the driver's seat and her car seat. The memory seat settings were not set as i expected when i pushed the button, but it seems to me that any setting should never allow it to automatically push into a child's legs to the point that she could be injured. |
