LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
LATCH/LOCK ON CENTER CONSOLE/JUMP SEAT FAILURE. THE PLASTIC LATCH FOR THE LID ON THE CENTER CONSOLE, WHICH IS ALSO A JUMP SEAT WHEN UPRIGHT, HAS FAILED. THE RESULT IS THE LID CAN BECOME OPEN IF THE SEAT IS TILTED UP TO USE AS A JUMP SEAT, OR IF DOWNWARD PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE REAR OF THE LID, OR IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR IF YOU ARE IN A CRASH. THE CONTENTS OF THE COMPARTMENT CAN BE RELEASED AND POSE AN IMMINENT DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE IN THE RESULT OF A CRASH OR OTHERWISE BECOME A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. THE PLASTIC LATCH IS NOT AVAILABLE AS A REPLACEMENT PART FROM GMC. THE ENTIRE CONSOLE MUST BE PURCHASED FOR $450 TO REPLACE LATCH AND IT HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE LATCH. *TR
