NHTSA Complaint #10064212 — 1999 CHEVROLET S10

THE RECLINE HANDLES ON BOTH OF MY SEATS SNAPPED OFF THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE USED. I TOOK IT TI THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEATS INORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM... THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I BROKE THEM BY APPLYING TO MUCH FORCE TO THE SEAT RECLINE LEVERS. I AM ONLY 5,2 AND I DONT THINK I COULD APPLY THAT MUCH FORCE TO BREAK METAL UNLESS THEY WERE DEFECTIVE TO BEGINE WITH. I WOULD ACCEPT IT IF ONLY ONE BROKE BUT WHEN BOTH OF THEM BROKE THIS IS A LITTLE MORE THAN COINCIDENCE... I WOULD LIKE CHEVEROLET TO RECALL THESE OR ISSUE A REPAIR PART.*AK
