- Seats › Front assembly › Recliner
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

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
