1 Front Seat Recliner problem of the 2000 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 02/07/2005

I have concerns over the drivers seat back in my 2000 gm Yukon xl. Every time I slow or stop the seat tips forward. The seat belt is attached to the seat back. I have investigated the source of the problem and have found it to be the gear box driven by the electric seat back motor has play in between the gears. When checking into replacement parts there was a note on the gm computer that replacing this part would correct seat back movement when vehicle stops. I am concerned that it will break loose in the event of a collision forcing me into the steering column or causing loss of control of the vehicle.

7 Front Seat Recliner problem of the 2002 GMC Yukon

We did not notice the missing latch system for child seats until very recently when we became grandparents. Our son's 2001 chevy silverado has the system and our newer 2002 Yukon xl denali owners manual states clearly that this vehicle is equipped with the new and improved latch system. It's not there! no lower attachment points are incorporated in the optional bucket seats which gm charged us extra for. Why does it cost extra to get less seat and then get ripped off on the new child safety seat attachment system? mr.
