Front Seat Power Adjust Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

When the vehicle takes off from a dead stop or comes to a stop the driver and passenger seat move in the track about a quarter inch or so creating an uneasy and unsafe feeling while operating the vehicle. After doing extensive online research I have found that this is a problem that plagues just about every 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette equipped with power seats. I discovered that the bushings that were used in the seat tracks were made from inferior materials and disintegrate over a short period of time and allow the seat to move in the track while taking off or stopping. It's not a question of if it will happen but when it will happen. To my understanding general motors has made no effort to fix this problem on their own. I understand that some were repaired under warranty by replacing the seat track but the new track would do the same thing in time. I purchased this car used and well out of warranty and if it were an isolated problem then I would accept that and try to have it repaired, but it's not. It has happened to just about all Corvettes built between 1997-2004. In fact there is an aftermarket repair kit for this but it requires the removal of the seat and disassembly of the seat track and a very careful reassembly after the bushings are replaced. We are not all mechanics nor can we all afford the 600. 00 per seat to have it repaired. Some of us do well just to be able to buy a car like that. That's why it's a 1999 and not a 2015. I love this car, it seems a shame that a car that cost 40,000. 00 when it was new should have such a problem that could have been prevented with slightly better quality. Thank you for reading this and I hope that you will look into this matter. The parts cost for g. M. On this repair would not be out of the question for them, however the labor involved for them to do the repairs would probably be what they would balk at. Thank you again.

Electric seat shoved consumer into steering wheel. The seat's motor continued to push the consumer forward even after the seat had gotten to end of it's track. It was hard to unhook the fuse in order to stop seat motor. On July 2, 2005 the consumer made an appointment with the dealer, who stated that the computer was the cause of the problem.

Electric motor for the passenger seat turned hot enough to blister my finger. No one was working the switches. Took off on it's own. Very close to a fire hazard. The car was not running at the time. Ignition was off.

Both driver and passenger seats have about an inch of movement (front to back) when stopping and accelerating. 1998 c5 Corvette 50000 miles.

Driver side power seat moves during moderate accerleration and braking. I attempted to get it corrected under chevy techanical bulletin no. 02-08-50-002 dated 3/13/02 because I was unaware until a friend mentioned to me that he had to get his seat fixed on his vette under the same bulletin no. When I tried to get it fixed the dealership told me that my vehicle was not "covered" under that bulletin no. And that I would need to contact Chevrolet. My friend ownes the exact same car as I do, his can get fixed but mine can't? I have never owned a car that the seat moves under these conditions. What happens when the thing breaks one day if I have to break hard? I end up thru the window? I'm more curious why the dealer would not fix it? they admitted that my seat moves but said it does not move enough to warrant falling in the bulletin repair. How much does it need to move?.
