DRIVER'S SEAT FAILURE ON A 1995 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE DESIGN OF THE SEAT PLACES THE FRONT LEFT SEAT FASTENER ON A THIN PIECE OF SHEET METAL RATHER THAN ON THE RE-ENFORCED CORNER OF THE SEAT FRAME. IT APPEARS TO BE SOME KIND OF DESIGN ERROR. THE THIN PIECE OF SHEET METAL SPLIT APART, ALLOWING THE FASTENER TO COME FREE, AND THE SEAT THEN ROCKED BACK, ALMOST TOUCHING THE REAR SEAT BEHIND IT; THE DRIVER WAS LEFT LOOKING UP AT A 60 DEGREE ANGLE AT THE INSIDE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, AND HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL FOR SUPPORT. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED IN THE DRIVEWAY AS THE DRIVER WAS BACKING UP. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN BEEN IN THE CAR AND IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED. GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS, AS IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. IN MY CASE, A CALL TO THE LOCAL DEALER GENERATED A "NEVER HEARD OF THAT" RESPONSE; I ULTIMATELY DISASSEMBLED THE SEAT AND HAD MY LOCAL WELDING SHOP STITCH IN A 1/8 INCH PIECE OF STEEL ACROSS THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE SEAT FRAME STRUCTURE SO THAT THE RE-ENFORCED CORNERS ARE CONNECTED BY MORE THAN THE FLIMSY PIECE OF SHEET STEEL (THIS IS WHAT GM SHOULD HAVE DONE WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THIS SEAT). *NLM

I HAD A 1995 CHEVROLET PICK UP WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, WHILE BACKING UP, THE DRIVER SEAT BOTTOM BROKE AWAY FROM WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE SEAT TRACK. I ONLY WEIGH 160 LBS., SO IT ISN'T A WEIGHT OR ABUSE ISSUE. I FEEL CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS THE SECOND TIME AROUND. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION?. THIS IS DEFINETLY A SAFETY ISSUE, SUDDENLY, YOUR DRIVING FROM THE REAR SEAT LYING ON YOUR BACK!.*AK

BOLT CONNECTING DRIVERS SEAT TO POWER ADJUSTABLE SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY TORE THROUGH THE SHEET METAL ANCHOR PLATE ON THE SEAT CAUSING THE SEAT TO TIP BACKWARDS ABRUPTLY. MY FATHER OWNS AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND IS AWARE OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I CONTACTED GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TO INQUIRE IF A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED GM HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL NOR A SERVICE BULLETIN AND DID NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TS *NLM ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS****760793

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THIS REPORT REGARDS A CHEVROLET TAHOE 4 DOOR TRUCK WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. DURING THE PAST 16 MONTHS BOTH INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ( THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT DOORS) HAVE SNAPPED OFF RENDERING THAT DOOR INOPERABLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT SINCE THE POSSIBLITY EXISTS THAT THESE DOOR HANDLES COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE DOOR HANDLES AT MY EXPENSE AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHEVROLET DEALER ( HUSTEDT CHEVROLET OF FLORAL PARK, N.Y.) THAT THE DOOR HANDLE FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *AK
