SEATS
I WAS SENT TWO NOTICES IN AUGUST 1997 CONCERNING: THE SEAT RECLINER TO SEAT FRAME ATTACHING BOLTS LOOSEN, FATIGUE, AND FRACTURE, ALLOWING THE SEAT BACK TO SUDDENLY RECLINE. ON MY TRUCK SEAT THE WELDING UNDER THE SEAT BROKE AND THE ENTIRE SEAT BROKE AND WE WENT BACKWARDS. IT'S STILL BROKEN AND IS A SAFETY DEFECT. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020 ON 11-23-98. I FELT, AT THE TIME IN AUGUST 1997 THAT SINCE RELIABLE CHEVROLET (IN RICHARDSON TX) THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, SO I DID NOTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. WHILE HAVING SOME WORK DONE ON MY TRUCK, IN KANSAS NOV 10/1998, THE REPAIR SHOP WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEAT BEING BROKEN THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE DEFECT AND THEY GAVE ME THE 800 # TO CHEVROLET. I SPOKE WITH DAVINA RUTHERFORD AT THIS 800# AND SHE TOLD ME, AT THIS DATE OF 11-23-98, THERE WE NO RECALLS CONCERNING THE SEATS, SO THEY COULDN'T HELP. YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET THE SEAT FIXED, AS I BELIEVE CHEVROLET SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
