PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BROKE AFTER SITTING BACK. DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BOLTS SPLIT IN TWO. BOTH BOLTS ARE BROKE OFF INTO THE TWO HOLES WITHIN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. *TR

Mileage: 170,000

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK (3/10/08) AND WAS JUST GETTING TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BACK OF THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE SENDING THE SEAT-BACK ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK SEAT. THIS PULLED MY HANDS OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WENT ACROSS THE ROAD BEFORE I GAINED CONTROL. IF IT HAD HAPPENED 5 MINUTES LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HEAVY TWO WAY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE BUCKET SEATS FOR THIS TRUCK? THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE IN IT'S CURRENT CONDITION AND I'M AFRAID TO JUST REPLACE THE SEAT WITH THE SAME STYLE. *TR

Mileage: 245,000

TRUCK WAS BOUGHT USED AND DRIVER SEAT RECLINER BOLT WAS BROKEN AT THAT TIME, IN WHICH THE ORIGINAL OWNER REPLACED BEFORE OUR PURCHASE IN APRIL 1998. SINCE THEN, BOLT HAS BEEN BOUGHT FROM DEALERSHIP AND REPLACED TWICE. ONE THE THIRD BREAKAGE, DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE SEAT TRACK UNDER THE RECALL. THE BOLT HAS ONCE AGAIN BROKEN, AND NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT BACK BOLT IS ALSO BROKEN. GM REFUSES TO FIX AGAIN.*AK

THE SEAT BOLTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON AVERAGE EVERY 6-9 MONTHS WE EVEN BOUGHT HIGH TENSION STEEL BOLTS HOPING THIS WOULD HELP IT DIDN'T. THE DESIGN FLAW IS AT FAULT ADDING WASHERS AND TORQUE DOESN'T HELP EITHER. WHETHER THE DEALER OR WE INSTALL THE BOLTS NOTHING HELPS. OUR CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT. WE HAVE ALSO DETECTED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BACK FRAME THAT IT IS CRACKED AND NEEDS TO BE WELDED. MY HUSBAND AND I EACH WEIGH UNDER 200 LBS. YOUR HELP IN CORRECTING THESE PROBLEMS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. DT
