Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The front left corner of the driver's seat base failed at the point where the seat base attaches to the slider. As the second owner of the vehicle, I am unsure of the history. Regardless, having the driver's seat so poorly attached is surely a safety issue that needs serious attention. I have read other complaints and I am disappointed with the apparent lack of attention to this matter. How many people must complain of the same failure of a safety device before the manufacturer is held accountable for the defect. We cannot all be making this up. …”
NHTSA complaint #10010488, filed 2003-03, 87,650 miles“The seat bracket on the drivers side seat broke at the weld causing the seat to snap backwards. The dealer had the bracket part on hand which indicates to me that this is a common occurrence. It is potentially catastrophic.”
NHTSA complaint #10019234, filed 2003-05, 80,000 miles“Metal body of driver's seat is fatigued and cracked near point of attachment to the mounting frame containing the power seat adjustment motors. Point of failure is left front corner.”
NHTSA complaint #10020519, filed 2003-05, 130,000 miles“Loss of vehicle control on interstate highway. Inadvertant lane change during noon urban traffic due to sudden movement of driver seat to the rear. Seat collapse caused by seat separation at left front seat track attachment to the bottom of the seat pan. Material failure of seat frame resulting in bolt attachment ripping free of sheet metal seat bottom. The seat is unstable and right front mount failure is iminent. No repairs attempted yet but failure appears to be well known and prevalent across all GM truck lines in 94-96 year group. …”
NHTSA complaint #10098620, filed 2004-11, 104,200 miles“The seat frame for the left front drivers side seat failed. There was only 67,000 miles on it. I drove it for a while until I could get it fixed, if the otherbolt had failed the set would have tipped backwards while driving, I don't believe I would hav been able to control the vehicle if that happenned. I have kept the vehicle and it is about nine months later. Teh replacement is beginning to fail in the same way. This seems unacceptable. …”
