Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased this vehical used on 3-15-99. at the time the salesman and myself noticed the front left seat was loose. we both thought it was just a loose bolt,and no safety concern if the bolt was to be tightened.after i got the vehical home i realized the left front seat frame contained a manufacturing defect, and was not repairable by myself.i looked for recalls on the internet and found similar recalls in that model year.as in nhtsa campaign id # 96e10000. being as i purchased this vehical at a used car dealer,i decided to take it to a chevrolet dealer to see if it was involed in the recall,they told me it was not,and the used car dealer i purchased it from should stand behind it.truck world said it was not covered,but if i paid their cost for repairs they would have it done for me.i feel this is a manufacturing defect and should be a recall on your part.it is almost impossible to drive as the seat tips back,every time you accellerate.can you please help me ? thank you. *ak
