“The bracket on my front seat has broke it is underneath seat and is very hard to get to my seat is always moving this is not safe and I should not have to pay for it and it is not safe.”
NHTSA complaint #10231561, filed 2008-06, 101,389 miles“Bolt connecting drivers seat to power adjustable seat track assembly tore through the sheet metal anchor plate on the seat causing the seat to tip backwards abruptly. My father owns an independent auto repair shop and is aware of this same problem on other Chevrolet trucks and SUV's. I contacted GM's customer service center to inquire if a recall or service bulletin had been issued to address this apparently common problem. I was advised GM had not issued a recall nor a service bulletin and did not consider this to be a common problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10008807, filed 2002-04, 137,000 miles“Driver's seat failure on a 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe. The design of the seat places the front left seat fastener on a thin piece of sheet metal rather than on the re-enforced corner of the seat frame. It appears to be some kind of design error. The thin piece of sheet metal split apart, allowing the fastener to come free, and the seat then rocked back, almost touching the rear seat behind it; the driver was left looking up at a 60 degree angle at the inside roof of the vehicle, and holding onto the steering wheel for support. This failure occurred in the driveway as the driver was backing up. …”
NHTSA complaint #10019278, filed 2003-05, 89,500 miles“I had a 1995 Chevrolet pick up with the exact same problem, while backing up, the driver seat bottom broke away from where it attaches to the seat track. I only weigh 160 lbs., so it isn't a weight or abuse issue. I feel Chevrolet should have to pay for this the second time around. What would have happened if I were in a traffic situation?. This is definetly a safety issue, suddenly, your driving from the rear seat lying on your back!.”
NHTSA complaint #766570, filed 2002-09“While driving at 30 MPH I went to get some thing out of my pocket and my seat broke lose. I pulled over and got out and looked under my seat and to my surprize saw that the seat had broke lose of the base.”
