“Excessive lint build up on ebony cloth seats in 08 chevy. Tahoe. Gm knows there is a problem - GM bulletin #07-08-50-018a, 10/02/2007 models 2007and 08 tahoes and many other models built with cloth seats prior to 8/01/07. Supposed to recover the seats but after many phone calls back and forth with GM they are not willing to do anything for us. Our Tahoe is a 08, # . The fabric seats pull cloth fibers from any type of clothing you are wearing and the seats look filthy all the time. The fibers are difficult to remove with a lint brush or a vacuum. …”
