Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

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. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE FRONT SEATS WOULD SLIDE ON THE RAIL. THE PASSENGER SIDE BEGAN TO DO THIS FIRST AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER HE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. BOTH SEATS ARE NOW SLIDING ABOUT 5 INCHES BACK AND FORTH. THE GM MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONSUMER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MAYBE THEY COULD WORK WITH HIM TO GET IT CORRECTED IF IT WAS A DEFECT. *JB

MY REAR WINDSHIELD COLLAPSED INTO PIECES WHEN I OPENED THE CARGO DOOR. THE SHATTERED GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE AND RESULTED IN MINOR CUTS SCRAPES, AND NOT TO MENTION INCONTROLLABLE TEARS ON MY 6-YR OLD DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. THE SERVICE DEPT. EMPLOYEE STATED SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE GONE FOR THE SAME REASON. MY PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERABLE AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE NOT TO PASS INSPECTION. MY CO-WORKER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM JUST YESTERDAY AND IT NEEDED ALL OF THE CABLING REPLACED. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WE LOST 3 TIRES AND THE MEN AT THE TIRE SHOP TOLD US THAT OUR TRUCK WAS MISSING THE PINIONS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS AND THE DANGERS IT CAUSED. I HAD THEM ADDED TO MY TRUCK AND HAVEN'T HAD A TIRE BUST SINCE. NEVER GOT COMPENSATION. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR. ITS RIDICULOUS HOW THESE NEW VEHICLES ARE FALLING APART AND NO ONE IS ON OUR SIDE. *NM
