1996 GMC Yukon Interior & seats Problems

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.

THE CABLE RELEASE FOR THE REAR SEATS FREEZE UP AND THE CABLES BREAK. THIS COULD TRAP SOMEONE IN THE BACK IF RIDING IN REAR, OR 3RD ROW SEATS. IF THE CAR CATCHES ON FIRE AND A PERSON WHO CAN'T CLIMB FORWARD OVER THE SEATS, IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING ON WHAT COULD HAPPEN. I FEEL AS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON GENERAL MOTORS. MINE BROKE AND I AM UNABLE TO FOLD MY SEATS FORWARD. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN AND THE CABLES RUST AND SNAP WHEN BOTTOM OF SEAT IS FOLDED FORWARD, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO RELEASE THIS WAY.
