| I bought a 2003 chevrolet s-10 p.u at a used car dealer on 11-13-09, drove it home on 11-14-09 that evening. on 11-19-09, driving it home from the repair shop for not wanting to start, i pulled out onto the highway and the seat slid back on its tracks. on 11-29-09 leaving church, i pulled onto the highway and the seat slid back on its tracks again. i got it locked in place at the next stop light, and when i accelerated, it happened again. when i step on the gas pedal to accelerate, the seat rocks back, which appears to disengage the locking mechanism from the tracks, and the seat slides back. i drove it home on 11-14-09 that evening. it sat in the driveway until 11-17-09 that afternoon, when it got towed to the repair shop because it didn't start on 11-15-09. picked it up on 11-19-09 around 5:30 pm sat in the driveway that evening. drove it to work the next morning 11-20-09. got done with work at 3:30 pm where the truck didn't start. had it towed to repair shop. being the weekend, and they're closed on weekends, it sat there through the weekend until 11-24-09 that afternoon got it back on 11-24-09. so for the short time i did have the truck, it happened on the three occurrences i described. i'm 5'-6 tall, so when i accelerate, and the seat rocks and slides back on its tracks, my feet are moved away from the accelerator and the brake pedals very quickly rendering them useless, until i can pull myself forward using the steering wheel and sliding up on the seat. just double checking that the latch is down. rocking back to check if it's locked. i have an appointment to take it back to the dealer on thursday to check why it's not starting. i could probably have them check the seat also. *tr | |||
