SEATS
DRIVERS SEAT IS LOOSE CAUSING SLIGHT ROCKING MOTION AND CLUNKING NOISE WHEN STOPPING / STARTING. THIS SEEMS COMMON IN 95 - 9? FULL SIZE CHEV / GMC SUV'S. I HAVE READ MANY NHTSA CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM - SOME RESULTING IN FAILURE OF THE SEAT TO REMAIN UPRIGHT AND RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT WHICH I HEAR MAY COST AS MUCH AS $1,000 IN PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT WHICH REQUIRES CORRECTION BY THE MANUFACTURER.
