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.

The seat bolts have been replaced on average every 6-9 months we even bought high tension steel bolts hoping this would help it didn't. The design flaw is at fault adding washers and torque doesn't help either. Whether the dealer or we install the bolts nothing helps. Our concern for our safety is paramount. We have also detected in the passenger seat back frame that it is cracked and needs to be welded. My husband and I each weigh under 200 lbs. Your help in correcting these problems would be appreciated. Thank you. Dt

Bent and twisted fingers, wrist and shoulder pain. After purchasing his 2500 silverado jim developed pains in his wrist on both hands and a very severe cronic pain in his left shoulder which has resulted in his taking pain pills. This is a crippling pain which has left him with severe limitations in using his left arm/shoulder. His fingers are bent towards the baby fingers and his thumbs are bent outward from the hand. Dt
