general problems of the 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe

Five problems related to seats have been reported for the 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 05/20/1999

I entered my vehicle and when I sat in the driver's seat the front left frame bracket on the seat snapped. The welding apparently broke. This vehicle has never been off-road and I am not obese. Now, when I sit in the seat, it leans back in an uncomfortable and, most importantly, dangerous position. The seat moves back and forth everytime the accelerator and/or brake pedal is depressed. I tried to have gm fix this, because it is obviously a defect, as welding should not come undone under normal operating conditions. Gm would not accept the responsibility to fix this defect.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 03/28/1997

Easy entry seat recall repair delayed due to ineffective repair per dealer.

3 Seats problem

Failure Date: 07/01/1996

Seat track failed.

4 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/28/1996

The driver's seat bolt bracket broke while getting in.

5 Seats problem

Failure Date: 12/12/1995

Driver's side seat rocks back and forth while driving vehicle. Tt.
