After being driven normally all day, the car all of a sudden wouldn't crank properly after being parked for a few hours. the car needed to be towed to a car shop. according to a local mechanic, the back seat pressed on the wiring that, in turn, burned up the electric panel and the fuel pump. due to this, the electric panel and the fuel pump need to be replaced.
Going down highway 70 mph straightaway car stalled able to get to side of highway pulled off seat found fuse box temp hot when cooled down noticed fuel relay switch burnt out. common problem with car due to engineering of seat brackets hitting fuse box and damaging it. this is the second time in 5 years fuse box has been replaced by certified dealership. obviously problem is with the engineering of seat bracket but apparently dealer does not take me seriously and did not trim seat clips per my specific request bc there is only a bulletin from gm 15-na-051 not a recall. several complaints have been made and must be common enough for a bulletin luckily no one was tailgating or this could have been a very serious accident.
