Filed Nov 10, 2004 · Seats · 104,200 miles · TX

Loss of vehicle control on interstate highway. Inadvertant lane change during noon urban traffic due to sudden movement of driver seat to the rear. Seat collapse caused by seat separation at left front seat track attachment to the bottom of the seat pan. Material failure of seat frame resulting in bolt attachment ripping free of sheet metal seat bottom. The seat is unstable and right front mount failure is iminent. No repairs attempted yet but failure appears to be well known and prevalent across all gm truck lines in 94-96 year group. Note: no operator of this vehicle since 1996 purchase has weighed more than 180 lbs and the seat has not been subjected to any collision or abuse. Normal loading and usage is light to moderate duty.

The driver side seat bottom frame assembly broke apart on my 1995 chev. Suburban. This caused the seat to tip backwards. Fortunately I was able to catch myself using the steering wheel and balance in the seat and get the car under control. I did not crash, but this is a very unsafe design.

The seat bracket on the drivers side seat broke at the weld causing the seat to snap backwards. The dealer had the bracket part on hand which indicates to me that this is a common occurrence. It is potentially catastrophic.

The front left corner of the driver's seat base failed at the point where the seat base attaches to the slider. As the second owner of the vehicle, I am unsure of the history. Regardless, having the driver's seat so poorly attached is surely a safety issue that needs serious attention. I have read other complaints and I am disappointed with the apparent lack of attention to this matter. How many people must complain of the same failure of a safety device before the manufacturer is held accountable for the defect. We cannot all be making this up. It's not like the electric window or radio quit working. Does someone have to get killed?!
