I would just like to start out by saying I enjoy GM vehicles. They are all I drive, but sometimes they have little problems. Like my 2000 GMC Jimmy sls. The recline handle on the drivers and passengers seat keep falling off and stripping the bear metal. I never pull on them so they dont get pulled on. I would just like to know how you intend to fix the problem and when. Now there is nothing else wrong with the SUV but minor things due to age. I would just like to know how you intend to fix the problem. Thank you for your time. Michael diemert

My 2000 GMC Jimmy has defective seat recliners, the cost of this to repair is exactly $350, I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership and they have told me that there is nothing that they can do to fix the case, I have talked to several people that own these vehicles including the Chevy Blazer and this is a common problem, nine times out of ten they break, my father has been in the industrial industry and has informed me that they used cheap metal in making these, what I need to know is what can I do, I purchased this vehicle and all the great warranties that they sell and now my great warranties are worthless, please help direct me to someone who can help, also am I entitled to getting money back for worthless warrantie that they sold me.

Driver's side seat mechanism used to recline seat broke off while attempting to recline seat. Took vehicle to dealer, and they replaced handle. Consumer feels this is unsafe because vehicle is a two door. In an accident rear passenger would be trapped, unable to get out.
