1998 CHEVROLET S10 Seats Problems

MY DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTMENT DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY IT MOVES FORWARD AND BACKWARDS AT ANYTIME. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE SEAT RELEASED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A VEHICLE I N FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF IT. I FEEL GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON. IT THERE ANY LAWYERS HANDLING THIS DEFECT. *TR

I HAVE A PASSENGER SEAT WHICH WILL NOT LOCK IN ANY POSITION EXCEPT FULLY BACK AND WILL ONLY LOCK BY BEING SLAMMED INTO THIS POSITION. IF SEAT IS NOT LOCKED INTO THIS POSITION IT WILL SLIDE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS FREELY DEPENDING ON THE MOTION OF THE VEHICLE . MANY ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BY THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ALL EFFORTS HAVE BEEN FUTILE. NOW THEY AND CHEVROLET REFUSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. AS OF NOW, THERE HAS ONLY BEEN ONE INJURY CAUSED BY THIS SEAT AND THAT WAS TO A 6 YEAR OLD WHOSE FOOT WAS CAUGHT BY THE SEAT WHEN IT WAS BEING SLAMMED INTO THE FULLY BACK POSITION. LUCKILY HER FOOT WAS JUST BRUISED BY THE SEAT . I JUST DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANYONE SERIOUSLY HURT BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTIONING SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER...

WHEN THE PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM FIRST CAME UP THE SUV WAS I THOUGHT OVER HEATING A BIT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT AS THAT WAS NORNAL FOR THEM IN HOT WEATHER.THE SUV BROKE DOWN IN SPRINGFILD MO , WE MANGED TO PULL INTO A SHOP ,THEY SAID THE DAMAGE WAS TO GREAT TO REPAIR WITHOUT COSTING AT LEAST 2000.00, AND EVEN THEN THERE WAS NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT DAMGE WAS DONE TO THE SUV.THEY DID HOWEVER GIVE ME A SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH LISTED MY PROBLEM. IT SEEMS GM HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEART 4 YEARS. YET WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIPS WITH THIS VERY (I LEARNED LATER) COMMON PROBLEM NOONE WANTED TO ADMIT THEY HAD EVEN HEARD OF IT. EVEN AFTER I READ THE NUMBER TO THEM THEY STILL ACTED AS IF THEY HAD NEVER HEARD...

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH, CONSUMER HIT BRAKES SUDDENLY AND PASSENGER'S SEAT SLID FOWARD, CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO HIT HEAD ON DASH. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS A UNSAFE CONDITION. TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE TRACK ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT, BUT NOW CONSUMER HAS TO SLAM SEAT WITH ALOT OF FORCE IN ORDER FOR IT TO LOCK INTO PLACE. *AK

NO SUMMARY

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS DO NOT LOCK INTO PLACE UNLESS PUSHED ALL THE WAY BACK. YH

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RECLINER ARM CONTINUES TO SNAP OFF. IT BREAKS OFF AT THE STEEL ITSELF AND NOT ON THE PLASTIC. I HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO BE REPAIRED. I ALSO CONTACTED CHEVROLET THEY FEEL THIS DOES NOT WARRANT A NEW SEAT. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF SOMEONE ADJUSTS THE SEAT AND THIS PIECE BREAKS IT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.
