1999 gmc sierra about 55,000miles: manual seat drivers side: the device that prevents the seat from sliding back and forth freely on its tracks has failed. Now the seat is all the way back except under braking, when it abruptly slides all the way to the steering wheel. No matter how alert you try to be, eventually some maneuver will be needed without time to brace yourself, your foot will mash the brake…

1999 gmc sierra extended cab problem: for the second time the cheap piece of plastic locking mechanism for the drivers side seat failed, or rather broke in half again. Not only will i have to pay for it to be serviced again, the stupid, sick piece of engineering designed is a huge safety hazard. This is why people don't buy american anymore. It must be recalled or people will die. *tr

The latches on my 1999 gmc sierra pick up truck broke in 2000 when the truck only had about 3700 miles on it. Gmc corp. Has denied the problem and refuses to talk to me about fixing the problem. It is a really bad safety hazard since…
