NHTSA Complaint #742679 — 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER

THE METAL SHAFTS ON THE MANUAL FRONT SEAT RECLINERS HAVE BROKEN THREE TIMES. THE FIRST ON DRIVERS SIDE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT TIME ON DRIVERS SIDE IS NOT, AS WELL AS THE THIRD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $134.50 FOR EACH SEAT. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET WHO TOLD ME THEY WOULD NEED A DIAGNOSIS FROM DEALERSHIP, AND THEN MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO "HELP" WITH PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIPS BY PHONE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEATS BEFORE. MY REQUEST # WITH CHEVROLET IS 03524972, AND I SPOKE WITH ANGELIA MONTGOMERY. I REALLY THINK SOMETHING OUGHT TO BE DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH ME BUT OTHERS AS LISTED ON YOUR COMPLAINT DATABASE. AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL DATES OF THE SHAFT BREAKINGS, I CANNOT SAY EXCEPT FOR THE ONE ON 03/08/01. THANK YOU SO MUCH.*AK
