Front left corner of upper frame broke on driver seat while vehicle in motion. Resulted in a severe rocking motion. Inspection LED to concern of imminent total failure. Dealer service department claims to have seen this several times around this year of vehicle. Total failure would have resulted in loss of control due to loss of presence of driver due to driver falling backward into rear seats. This corner of seat takes full load of driver on entry and exit and seems to be prone to failure. I would consider loss of driver seat a significant safety issue.

Driver side seat frame is cracked and is separating from anchorage which causes seat to rock back and forth upon acceleration of vehicle. Please give any further details.
Driver's seat frame separated from track and anchor. Manufacturer has been notified. *ak metal in frame tore from metal fatigue, metal is too thin.
Driver side electrical seat broke. Seat frame welding would come apart without prior warning, no cracking or noise. Dealer has called this a "common problem" but will not cover under warranty.
Left side of driver's bucket seat frame failed due to weak material. Frame broke free of the left slider assembly.
The metal seat frame has failed at the left front corner and separated from the power seat track. Initially the seat appeared to be slightly loose, but the instability of the seat has increased. Not only is it uncomfortable to drive, but I am concerned that the if I were involved in a crash, the seat frame would fail at other points and possibly cause injury. I am the primary driver of this vehicle and am 6'1" and weigh 185 lbs. My wife occasionally drives the vehicle but she weighs less than I do. The vehicle has never been in an accident and I cannot envision why the metal seat frame would fail absent a defect.
Bracket inside driver's seat underneath broke, causing seat to lean to side. *ak
Driver's side seat broke from tracks . Manufacturer has been notified.
Driver's seat back broke while vehicle was in motion. Dealer has repaired vehicle.
Tracks underneath driver's seat broke, causing seat to tilt to one side when applying brakes. Dealer has been contacted.*ak the seat truck assembly and frame assembly were rewelded.
The lower seat frame is broken on the driver's seat in the front left corner. A 3 or 4 inch section of the steel plate broke in to 4 pieces where th bolt holds the seat to the base. This happened under normal use of the vehicle. It has not been in any accidents or been subject to any undue stress. We feel that this is a safety hazard. The steel is evidently of poor quality. We don't feel safe in driving this vehicle. If one corner broke what is to say that the rest won't, especially now that the seat isn't anchored properly. We hate to think what could and would have happened if this had broken during an accident. Would any of our seats have held our family? Seat belts wouldn't have been enough. Chevy will not replace the frame because we are out of warranty. We feel that this is a defect and is not a warranty situation. It is a safety issue that needs to be addressed!

On march 05, 1999 at 7:14 p.m. I was the victim of a rear end collision. The drivers seat of my suburban, plate# 3slu868, collapsed. As a result I suffered injuries to my neck and right shoulder. As of today I have not recovered and continue to be under the care of stanford/ucsf medical center. The seat failed in a manner identical to what I have found on your test pages. It is my belief that this seat is defective and has directly and significantly contributed to my injuries. I implore you to look into this matter as every accident affects the lives of american citizens and our gnp. I have been unable to work since my accident and am constantly in great pain. Typing this email is physically difficult for me. Please respond with any information which you may have on this matter.
