problem #4

Silverado 4WD

I pushed the lever on the front drivers side seat to allow passenger entry. The seat came forward as it is designed to do. The seat is now in the forward position and will not lock in the driving position. Your form is showing fire and not seats problems, which is the nature of my complaint, and I do not know how to correct this!!
