They did say it was an accident. And in case people were wondering about why he bought a car with it, they sometimes come grouped with other interior options.
That said, I don't think it should happen. I don't know about GM, but i think so. At Chrysler, our seats only stayed on for a set period of time. it would cycle to low after a certain amount, then cycle to off.
The dumb thing in the article is a note saying GM puts the warning in the manual now. That right there identifies this as a lawsuit-only issue. You can sue for stupidity and they can say they did the legal requirements of a warning. if they took this seriously, they would put a warning near the button, or set the timers as required by FMVSS law, or some other standard.
