1995 Chevrolet K1500 Seats Problems

“My drivers seat had a little play' or rock in the base from the time I bought it until the base broke off. One of the mounting bolts sheared off on the front left corner of the base, allowing the seat to tip backward if you leaned back in it. It broke next to a weld in the corner of the base probably from heat stress and the constant play in the seat going back and forth. The dealer ordered me a new base frame which now costs over $220. Plus 2 hours of labor to install it. I pleaded my case that a seat should last longer than less than 4 years and 33k miles but it went nowhere. …”

“Drivers bucket seat frame broke while slowing to stop for traffic signal, seat dropped forward causing more pressure to be applied to brakes and vehicle came to sudden stop; truck has a problem with power seat adjuster that has excessive movement and popping under acceleration and during braking conditions, and going around sharp turns.”

“Bolts attached to seat frame have loosened and fractured, causing seatback to recline. Consumer claimed this vehicle had same defect as mentioned in recall 96e010000, but was not included in recall due to VIN. Please provide further information.”

“Drivers side seat broke. When getting in and out felt as if it was rocking. When putting on brakes, seat swayed forward. Dealer contacted and seat not covered under warranty. Also the windshield wiper motor works intermittently and repairwork to be done at owners expense.”

“1. Mounting frame on the driver's side high back bucket seat fractured. 2. Driver's pot metal door handle fatigued until it broke. Several 1996 suburbans owned by the miami-dade fire rescue department have had the same problem.”
