GTO's have the same problem with their power seats.
Both seats in my 04 GTO folded forward.
I'm not buying the safety issue. THINK about this, people - if that was really the case, then the rear driver's door on 4-door cars wouldn't open at all and minivans would get rid of their driver's side sliding doors too - NO door on the driver's side other than the driver's would be operational. So much for the "safety issue" argument.
Nope, it's a cheapness issue. Pure and simple.
