Ref: 2001 chevy s-10, extended cab, 4x2 the driver seat was adjusted forward (closer to the steering wheel), and while driving my daughter's (5' 2") seat moved all the way back where she could no longer maintain control of the vehicle. I tested the seat, while it was park and I can adjust the seat closer to the steering wheel and I can push the seat back everytime without using the bar that locks the seat in place.

The passenger seat does not latch properly. It has been to the shop on numerous occasions both under warranty and recently having to pay out of pocket and it still does not latch properly if you brake the seat slides forward, causing a possible injury to the occupant, possibly throwing them through the front windshield. Adjustments have been made, and both of the seat rails have been replaced. Also, there is the lose of the vehicle while it is in the shop. I believe that this is possibly a defect with all 2001 chevy s-10 pick up trucks.
