3 Mid/rear Seats Assembly problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 10/11/2016

Driver side seat heater randomly comes on and goes off. Majority of the time the heater stays on constantly and becomes uncomfortable. This happens more especially in wet conditions and when you attempt to turn the heated seat off, the controls won't work. This issue happens when the SUV is started, continues while idling and while driving. Some days it is hours before it will go off. Other days it will not go off. The scary thing is you can hear the dashboard clicking when the heater turns on and off, constantly cycling though high to low, back of seat to bottom of the seat. Adjusting the seat in any way does not help. I think this is a concern due to the fact that it turns off and on and you can hear it cycle through. It's also a major concern because the heat stays on without any way to turn it off. This started a week after I purchased this vehicle and has continued since October 2016.

7 Mid/rear Seats Assembly problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 11/02/2004

In my Chevrolet Suburban VIN 3gnfk16z14g227335 the middle row seat on the passenger side which slides forward to allow access to the third row seat has a poorly designed latch that has come loose on several occasions while the vehicle is braking and doesn't sporadically does not latch. My wife and I have had the viehicle serviced on 11/02/2004, 11/26/2004 and 1/21/2005 and can provide service records if desired. The vehicle was also taken in on 02/25/20005,however the seat latched properly at the dealer and no invioce was issued. Each service we were informed that the latch has been slighlty bent from persons (our children in this case) accessing the third row seat. We have been told that a pin bends and that the only fix is to periodically bend the pin back. This we find to be unacceptable as one is never sure when the pin is bent "enough" to allow the seat to come unlatched and thus roll forward when the car brakes. The seat rolled forward on several occasions while occupied by both children and my wifes grandmother. As one cannot depend on the seat to stay latched we no longer feel the seat is safe to use (uncontolled roll forward during an accident could be very hazardous) and no longer allow anyone to sit in that location. We have been told by the ken dixon chevrolt (dealer that has serviced the vehicle) that "latch design is the problem,latch bends if contact is made with it" (quote from srevice history in dealers computer). We are currently persuing the maryland lemon law, however would prefer to have the situation fixed. We are getting the run around from gm and were infomed by gm that this particular seat design has been discontinued.
