Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Driver and passenger recliner handle both get stock and will not function when pulled and then breaks. This has happen to me 1 time in a 98 s10 single cab plus the previous owner had just had it replaced 2 months ago. It also happen two times on my other 98 s10 ext cab. I believe this a risk because ones the handle break u cant adjust the seat to sit up right GM should have this recalled and provide a replacement the vehicles that are affected are 1998-2003 Chevrolet s10 (all models), 1998-2003 gmc sonoma (all models) and any car made by GM with the same interior style.”
