Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Mid year in 2006 the passenger side seat in my Tahoe started to slide on its track about 2 to 3 inches, back and forth. Then about 4 months later the same thing happened with the drivers seat. The seat slides back and forth about 4 inches. This is very hazardous when driving, because when you accelerate the seat slides back with a bang, and if you come to a quick stop, the seats sling you forward. I contacted the dealership which told me to contact Chevrolet customer care. I explained to the I feel this is a defect in the way they assembled the seats. …”
NHTSA complaint #10183296, filed 2007-02, 100,000 miles“The consumer stated after using the heated seat for one and a half miles, it shorted out. This caused minor burns to the driver. An independent repair shop determined the seat cover needs to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10148143, filed 2006-01, 52,000 miles“Dt: the consumer owns a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. The front seats would slide on the rail. The passenger side began to do this first and the dealership told the consumer he would have to replace the motor. Both seats are now sliding about 5 inches back and forth. The GM manufacturer told the consumer to take the vehicle to a dealer to see if it was a manufacturing defect and maybe they could work with him to get it corrected if it was a defect.”
