THE PASSENGER SEAT CANNOT BE LATCHED IN POSITION UNTIL IT IS MOVED TO THE FULL REARWARD POSITION. AS THIS IS AN EXTENDED CAB TRUCK THERE MAY BE A BOX OR SOMETHING SIMILAR BEHIND THE SEAT. IN THIS CASE THE PASSENGER CANNOT LATCH THE SEAT RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER SLIDING TOWARDS THE DASH IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ABOUT THE ONLY WAY TO DISCOVER THIS IS WHEN IT HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME AND YOUR PASSENGER IS ONLY STOPPED BY THE SEATBELT. IF THEY WERE NOT WEARING THEIR SEATBELT THEN THEY WOULD PROBABLY HIT THE DASH. NO VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED HAS HAD SUCH A SYSTEM.

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES REAR BRAKES LOCK UP, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED AND ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES . *AK AN AUTO EXPERT POINTED OUT THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY WRECKED DAMAGING FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION AS WELL AS BRAKE SENSORS. *YH

THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING A NEW CHEVROLET S10 PICK UP MY COUSIN WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP HE SLID FORWARD, HIS BODY PRESSING AGAINST THE DASH. WHAT HE TOLD ME WAS THAT THE SEAT WOULD NOT LOCK IN PLACE. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES IN THE SPAN OF THREE MONTHS FOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS SEAT. THEY DID THE FOLLOWING "FOURTH TIME IN, FLOOR BENT CAUSING SEAT TRACKS TO BIND [BEND] REMOVED RIGHT SEAT TRIM TO TORQUE BOLTS TO SPECS GIVEN BY TECH LINE - DID NOT WORK. REMOVED SEAT TO SHIM SEAT UP A CORNER AT A TIME. DID NOT WORK. BENT FLOOR UP (1') INCH. WORKED FOR A WHILE. CALLED TECH LINE. GOT METAL PLATES TO REINFORCE FLOOR. DRILLED OUT PLATES TO REINFORCE FLOOR. DRILLED OUT PLATES & INSTALLED WITH SHIMS TO ALIGN SEAT TRACKS AS PER TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTER (TAC) RECOMMENDATIONS. ED PHELPS, DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER, INVOLVED WITH REPAIRS." TODAY I WAS TOLD BY A MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE WAS A "BULLETIN" ISSUED CONCERNING S10 SEATS AND THAT I COULD FIND IT ON YOUR SITE. WHAT'S GOING ON. AND IS MY TRUCK SAFE FOR MY PASSENGERS?*AK
