1992 Chevrolet K1500 problems

Filed Apr 11, 2014 · Seat belts, Seats · CA · 1 injury

I was told there was a recall on the passenger and driver seat. The dealer claim they would fix it. But they did not fix it correctly and I still have a problem. The seats just unlock while you're driving and slide around freely, not held in place while the truck is in operation. Results have caused whiplash and personal back strain. This occurs at random. The dealership and general motors refused to correct their failed repair and damage to seats and seatbelts. I went to the gmc dealership and had the seatbelts repaired and they are failing again. Very poor design. The seatbelts start fraying immediately and will fail again. The relationship between the seats and seatbelts need to be corrected.
