Safety issue: while traveling at highway speed, the drivers seat right side back support bracket failed. The only thing keeping it upright is the left side bracket and seat covering in tension. In my opinion, a seat bracket should not fail during the life of the vehicle. I do not push back on my seat, as I have seen others in there vehicles to create more space behind the steering wheel. In fact, I sit up close to the steering wheel in an upright position. The vehicle has not been involved in any colisions during the life of the vehicle. I have been driving the vehicle since 5 miles on the odometer.

Excessive lint build up on ebony cloth seats in 08 chevy. Tahoe. Gm knows there is a problem - gm bulletin #07-08-50-018a, 10/02/2007 models 2007and 08 Tahoes and many other models built with cloth seats prior to 8/01/07. Supposed to recover the seats but after many phone calls back and forth with gm they are not willing to do anything for us. Our Tahoe is a 08, # . The fabric seats pull cloth fibers from any type of clothing you are wearing and the seats look filthy all the time. The fibers are difficult to remove with a lint brush or a vacuum. It only takes getting in and out once and your seats look terrible. We have only owned this vehicle for less than 3 months and it is driving us insane trying to keep up with the fabric fibers from our clothing all over the seats. We are very angry that gm refuses to do anything at all for us after replacing the same fabric on other models in accordance with their bulletin stated prior. We have always had cloth seats in our vehicles and have never seen anything like this. There are many chat sights on-line dealing with this exact problem about the ebony cloth seats. Gm needs to do something about this immediately. After all, they have already acknowledged the problem. We feel absolutely screwed over by gm.

Tl the contact owns a 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the corner of the front driver's side seat bracket had fractured, which caused the seat to rock and become unstable.

Mid year in 2006 the passenger side seat in my Tahoe started to slide on its track about 2 to 3 inches, back and forth. Then about 4 months later the same thing happened with the drivers seat. The seat slides back and forth about 4 inches. This is very hazardous when driving, because when you accelerate the seat slides back with a bang, and if you come to a quick stop, the seats sling you forward. I contacted the dealership which told me to contact Chevrolet customer care. I explained to the I feel this is a defect in the way they assembled the seats. If it happened in just one seat I would agree, it is not a defect, but this has gradually happened to both seats. And there are other similar complaints on this website. The dealership denies this is a defect, and therefore Chevrolet is denying this is a defect. I would appreciate any additional assistance with this problem.

No summary listed for above vehicle.

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.
