1999 GMC Sierra seats complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Son was driving 99 gmc sierra truck on I-20 in arlington, tx monday, may 26th when he braked to slow and the front driver seat suddenly lurched forward throwing him into the steering wheel causing him to lose control of the truck. He regained control of the vehicle but was almost rear ended by vehicle. Son and fiancee were unhurt and no damage was done. When they were able to pull over and investigate, the front driver seat would not lock in place. It would move forward and backward without locking into place. Son had to brace his foot against the dash to hold seat in place in able to drive the vehicle home. Serious injury could have been the result if control of the vehicle had been lost. Feel this is a manufacturers defect and serious injury could result if this happened to others or myself since I drive the same identical vehicle.

I was having trouble moving the drivers front seat forward or backwards, I left it in the foward position as I was driving along a city street ,I came up to a light and the seat anchorage became broken causing me to strick the steering wheel.I feel that if I had been going faster then 25mph I would have gotten hurt worse. I had a factory defect on the front seat belts,which I had taken to the dealer ,I was adviced that the parts were not in and had to be ordered. This was back in november or so to the best of my recllaction. 2-28-2001 I called the gmc customer assistance office spoke with a gmc representative and declare my problem , I wanted this deficiency to be covered under warranty,and I was adviced that it was not. Now what good is the seat belt doing me when the seat will not stay ,I have been using my left foot for support against the brake release that is mounted on the side of the drivers door,it keeps me from going foward at slow speeds what is going to happen if a vehicle in front of me suddenly stops? What good is this type of safety seat belt if the seat will not stay stationary,if this happen to my vehicle I dont doubt it will happen to some one else and mybe they wont be so lucky.another safety feature that was installed be the manufacture is the antilock brakes, they are also not covered under an extended warranty like the emission system, I feel that the seat and antilock brakes should be more of a safety concern then the emission system.any information will be kindly appreciated thanks for your time.
