I have a 2000 chevy zr2. Both seat latches used to recline seats have broken off. I complained to a local dealership and the cost for the repair was quoted as $250 per seat.

I have noted many other complaints on your website regarding this. #2 third door latch broken, also noted other complaints on your website about this.

Recliner handles have broken, not the plastic handles, but the metal rod has sheered off in plastic handle, has occered twice on drivers side and once on passenger side.

The reclining mechignition on both seat are made of very cheap metal, and both have snapped off at the seat itself.

When pressing on the brakes seat tracks snap, causing driver seat to go to the rear. Cause unknown. Dealer notified.
Plastic seat latch and actuator breaks very easily causing the seat to be in the wrong position possibly at the time of the break. The passenger side broke at 32k then the driver's side broke at 49k.to fix the problem the whole seat has to come apart so the labor is around 2 hrs then cost around $245 to fix and soon to break again. The actuator needs to be of a stronger material. A discussion page for s-10 owners zr2.com has 2 pages of complaints on this one item. This inferior plastic part needs to be recalled! Gm does not want to recall this because the s-10's are no longer in production. Please help us solve this problem by recalling this part. Thank you very much.
Seat latch popped off while adjusting the seat. Vehicle was not in motion. Manufacturer was notified.
Passenger side seat fails to lock and slams foreward upon deceleration, this is a design function according to bartow chevrolet , seat must be forcefully slammed back, to it's full rear position in order to lock anywhere on the sliding carriage if the seat has been tilted foreward to access the rear storage area I.e. Install child in rear seat , slam passenger seat fully back, or it will not lock and will slide passenger into dashboard when decelerating ,even an adult would probably not survive an airbag deployment at point blank range.
