What owners wrote
The injury consisted of a dislocation of the s/i joint in the hip and a disk problem in the back. When we took the truck to the dealer we were first told that the part was "worn out". Then we were told that the part was "defective". The parts were replaced out of dealer stock due to a safety concern.
Defective parts ---right and left seat back recliners broke in the same identical places after very little use. The right side broke with no more than 4-5 times of use. The left side broke after no more than 10 times of use. If this was a item that got used every day I would understand they might wear out. I had the extended warranty but it expires at 75000 miles so GM refuses to warranty it. *nlm
