SEATS
DRIVERS SEAT LOCKING MECHANISM BROKE. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, DRIVER WAS THRUST AGAINST STEERING WHEEL. SEATBELTS DO NOT HELP AS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. SEAT SLIDES FORWARD AND BACKWARD FREELY. I FEEL THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO STOP THE SEAT FROM FLYING YOU FORWARD. THE LOCKING MECHANISM SHOULD NEVER BREAK. THE CHEVROLET DEALER CALLS THIS A SEAT ADJUSTER, BUT IS A PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS THE LOCKING PIN IN IT. A PIECE OF PLASTIC TO HOLD A SEAT IN ITS PLACE IS TOTALLY STUPID. *TT

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IT STARTED THAT WHEN YOU PUT IT REVERSE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO THEN PUT INTO DRIVE THEN REVERSE IT WORKED. THEN WHILE DRIVING WE PULLED INTO PARKING SPOT AND TRIED TO REVERSE IT WAS TOTALLY GONE. WINDSHIED WIPERS STOP WORKING ON AND OFF. YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR THEY WON'T MOVE AND AT MOST TIMES IT EFFECTS THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID SO IT DOESN'T WORK.

PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE (EMERGENCY BRAKE) ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE. HAVE DISCOVERED THROUGH INTERNET WEB SITES THAT IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT THOUSANDS HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM. DISCUSSED WITH THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE POOR/FAULTY DESIGN BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNLESS, OF COURSE, I WANT TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM BY IT NOT BEING ABLE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE. FEEL NHTSA SHOULD FORCE GM TO INSPECT AND FIX ANY THAT HAVE A PROBLEM BEFORE THEY END UP GETTING SUED BECAUSE SOMEONE'S CHILD GOT RUN OVER BY A ROLLING VEHICLE. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR DEATHS OR INJURIES TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT!*JB
