Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When braking the driver's seat moves slightly as though the mounting bolts or slider bolts were loose. I checked the mounting and slider bolts and they are tight, but the problem occurs every time I use the brake pedal. This will result in a virginia state vehicle safety inspection failure because a seat must be secure or it constitutes a danger. Although the vehicle is a 2000 chevy Silverado 1500 series lt extended cab it only has 13,000 miles on it. …”
