Front Seat Recliner problems of the 2002 GMC Envoy

Three problems related to front seat recliner have been reported for the 2002 GMC Envoy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Seat Recliner problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2001

There are two latches at bottom of driver's seat for security. There is a hook for two latches, but there is one there . Dealership iis aware of problem.

2 Front Seat Recliner problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2001

Transmission does not seem to downshift; loud fan noise with loss of power; hard shift into gear from start; missing rear seat latch to hold down seat and easily wobbles when shaken; hook for latch is present but no latch present seems to be design flaw.

3 Front Seat Recliner problem

Appears that vehicle manufacturer has opted to not install all rear seat bottom latches on the rear passenger seating. This is being reported by several vehicle owners of the 2002 chevy trailblazer/GMC Envoy line. In the event of a collision, having only one latch on the larger split seat may cause the the seat to be jarred loose which in turn could potentially result in passenger injury. I would like to know how many other owners have reported this, and if there's plans by gm to correct this situation.
