1999 Chevrolet S-10 seats problems

“NO EVENTS LEADING TO IT. JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE WHEN USING IT. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. SEAT RECLINER LEVERS DEFECTIVE AND BREAK VERY EASY, THE PARTS THAT HOLD IT TOGETHER ARE CHEAP DIE CAST METAL. HAVEN'T BOTHERED REPLACING AS I CANNOT AFFORD, DEALER WONT REPLACE, JUNK YARDS DON'T HAVE THEM. *TR”

“SEAT RECLINER LEVER BREAKS AND FALLS OFF. THIS APPLIES TO ALL 1999 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP AND S10 BLAZERS. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. WITNESSED THIS OCCURRENCE ON 4 DIFFERENT S10 PICKUP/BLAZERS. METAL IS MADE OF CHEAP CAST THAT BREAKS OFF EVEN WITH NO USE. LEVERS FALL OFF DURING VACUUMING/OPENING DOOR AND REGULAR USE. NO AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT PART OR REMEDY TO MY KNOWLEDGE. *TR”

“BOTH SEAT RECLINER HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF. I HAVE LESS THAT 30,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I ONLY USE IT OCCASIONALLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED AND THAT RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF FIRST. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WHICH INDICATES A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE RECLINER ARMS. I WILL CONTACT GM TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE THEM. *JB”

“DT: THE CALLER SAID A TRUCK HE USE TO OWN HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SLIDING FORWARD. THE CALLER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY FIXED IT, BUT THE CALLER STATED IT WAS NOT FIXED. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED LATELY. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE CALLER GAVE VEHICLE TO HIS SON, WHO HAS NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER . *AK”

“DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF VERY EASILY. WE ARE NOW UNABLE TO RECLINE BOTH SEATS IN MY TRUCK. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID "THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY S-10" (PER THE PARTS COUNTER & SERVICE DEPARTMENT). I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RECLINER ASSEMBLY AND THE HANDLE, THEY WANTED $600 TO FIX THIS! I COULD BUY A LAZY BOY RECLINER FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND THEY NEED TO FIX THIS. THE PARTS DEPT. GUY TOLD ME THAT THEY REDESIGNED THIS RECLINER BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING SO PROBLEMS WITH THE OLD ONE. *JB”

“SEAT RECLINER MECHANISM OPERATES POORLY.*MR THE CONSUMER HAD TO USE ONE HAND TO PULL THE LEVER AND USE THE OTHER ON TO THE SEAT BACK TO GET IT TO OPERATE. *NM”
