Oh ya manuel seats seem to have a flaw they have a plastic piece that explodes and the seat won't lock in to place anymore.
the power buckets seats have a technical assistance bulletin issued to all Chevy Dealers
stating they clunk and have excessive free play
in them and the stated resolution should also
be included in the bulletin. I'll take my chances
with the manual seats and save almost $800.00
by the time you add power bucket seats. I don't
care anymore since I got rid of the junker.
1995-1998 power and manual seats on Chevy trucks
also had a similar problem with the track mechanism operating the seat properly. Why can't
Chevy learn from past mistakes and build a decent
quality seat whether power or manual?
the new seat tracks are TOTALLY different, but nun the less there seems to be a design flaw.
Also one can fine tune the seat while cruising I find this to be nice on long trips.
My power seats work fine as well.
to let me know. I just know that there is a
problem with some, not all. Don't ask me why.
GM cannot even figure that one out.
I think GM should look at the assembly plants for quality issues. I work in an FDA regulated industry that COULD NOT tolerate this! They have no one to answer to(except Joe consumer). Are you going to die if your seat fails, tranny vibrates, engine pings, dash rattles, I can go on. These workers are like the rest of us who can't wait to get away work and do what it is they do. How would some of you out there like it if I failed to my job and you were hurt in some way or DIED! You wouldn't. I take pride in what I do for all of you and so should the rest, NO MATTER WHAT THE PRODUCT. I'm failing to see this anymore.
Thoughts from So. Ca.
But how did we all manage before we had federal servants to save us?
I hope since you have volunteered for whatever noble service you are performing, that you keep in mind that it isn't necessary to be federally regulated to take pride in your work, nor does one have to be in the private sector to be imperfect.
Thoughts from outside So. Ca.
Plus, most of these complaints are relatively minor annoyances. If we were driving around in 'clapper' vehicles which most of us owned in HS and college, we would think we had died and gone to heaven if the worst problems were shudder or ping or clunky seats......
GET RID OF THE UNION!!
Get some good people in there who actually want to work and feel proud of what they have done. Not these cry babies who come and work 6 and get payed for 8..and can do nothing but [non-permissible content removed] for $60K a year.
Nobody gives a hoot anymore about Pride and Quality...There is your problem.
Mike
P.S. For the kind of money they are already getting, I expect a good job.
Somewhere the Union does some good....but most of the stories I hear here in the Motor City...It's just an excuse to Screw off at work.
I know one guy..his job is rarely called for..but he has to be there..he has a concession like booth where he sells snacks/pop/coffee..etc...IN the plant..while he gets payed for the other title!
When he retires..he is going to sell that space to someone else.
These guys need to be trained for more than one Job...but the union says no
Someday...I'll have my dream come true
At least it wasn't the coolant was low, and the light didn't come on. However that wouldn't ruin the motor either, since it has the "limp-home" feature.
Try a 2000, I waited a year to let the bugs get worked out.
I drove 2 new 1999 chevy S-10 blazers that the center console was about to fall out, one of the door panels was falling off.
If this was a TV and I bought it I would of exchanged it for a new one, or got my money back
without much of a hassle. GM quality? The quality coming out of Canada seems to be a bit better than the US plants. What do you people think?
I'm sorry, but I have difficulty believing your friend's mileage on the PSD. Not hauling, maybe, just maybe, with a tail wind and all down hill; 20 MPG.
Using the cruise control will substantially improve mileage on a diesel. I've gotten 19 at speeds 65 to 75. If I slowed down to 55, maybe 20 MPG. I don't think 25 MPG is realistic in any real world driving situation.
