2000 Chevrolet S10 seats problems

Filed Jun 15, 2018 · Seats · 108,000 miles · CA

The driver's seat has not been working properly for several months. The seat will not stay locked in place and this has created a dangerous situation, especially in intersections, when the truck has been in motion. Now that this has happened several times, I've been especially careful & prepared to move the seat back forward so I can again reach the pedals. My solution for the time being - placing a wooden 2x4 piece behind the seat so it will stay fixed. It's working, but it is very inconvenient getting into or out of the seat. Will try to repair or take to a shop if a recall is not mandated.

The passenger side seat of my 2000 s10 pickup does not catch after you move it forward to gain access to the back of the seats. In order to get catch, I have to push as hard as I can back into the full back position. If this is not done and I make a sudden stop the passenger and seat are thrown forward toward the windshield. When I took it to the dealer the first time this happened they said the could not find anything wrong with the passenger seat but did fix the driver's seat that was doing the same thing. I have seen similar reports on some websites about s10's. This has been going on since I have owned the vehicle. Since I am now aware of the problem I know how to avoid it but it is a problem that should be fixed by the manufacturer.
