“Failure with driver's seat (captains chair) had problem for years , Gmc stated I would have to purchase new seat, but to expensive to replace. The seat is loose and moves from side to side making it dangerous to drive and has no back support. I have contacted the company again. Hope you can help. Please we need your advice. This is not a wear and tear problem, it is a manufactor defect.”
NHTSA complaint #748255, filed 2001-07“The lower seat frame for the drivers seat in my 1995 Gmc Sierra 4 wd 1/2 ton pickup has broken during acceleration into traffic. This breakage allows the seatback to rotate backward and to the right tilting the driver back and obscuring view of the highway. This was repaired once in 1996 under waranty. Then repaired again at my cost in 2000 and has broken again today. Each time this failure has occured the truck was being accelerated into traffic flow. This vehicle, although designed for off road usage has only been used on city streets. …”
NHTSA complaint #10025840, filed 2003-07“The left front seat anchor broke while driving. When it gave away the seat leaned back more thatn usual. If both anchor in the front had broke at the same time the seat more than likely would have fell backwards due to my weight in the seat. During a discussion with a local chevrolet service rep my wife was told that they have had some problems with the seat frames in this vehicle. If there truely is a problem of this nature someone other than the manufacturer should probably be looking into it.”
NHTSA complaint #717275, filed 2000-01“The contact stated while sitting in the driver's seat it moves freely. An independent repair shop determined that the seat frame is breaking away from the floor board and needs to be replaced. Updated 3/9/2006 -”
