So I was able to solve the seat movement issue as a few others with hose clamps. I bought 2 - 1" hose clamps, and 2 - 3/4" rubber clamps and slid the rubber off of those and onto the hose clamps. I bu

whatever... I'm sure 2013 Chevy was perfect and had no issue. I'm sure your 1996 Ford is also perfect and never had any issues ... The truth is that every car/truck, every year has it's issues. Th

Thanks for this.   Just re-quoting for all the new members because I spent about 20 minutes trying to find the fix, with pics.

My seat does the same thing. What dealer did you go to for the fix. I would like to take mine to a dealer that has fixed the issue and knows of the bulletin.

 

I got it repaired at Mark Christopher Auto Center in Ontario, CA. You'll need to talk to the Service Manager since my Service Writer was a tool.

Does GM use horsehairs for seat padding? Mercedes Benz used it for decades (seriously). And when I read all these posts, I recall removing the driver's seat from my old 1983 Mercedes 300SD (126 chassis sedan) to replace the electric motor cables. That seat had four electric motors built into it, one huge frame with all metal gear transmission. Must have weighed well over 100 lbs. That seat never clunked or moved. Maybe if GM built something like that, they would never have problems.

My truck does the same thing the front seat moves and it drives me crazy!! I have taken it in 2 times with no solution. Is replacing the seat frame a TSB yet? Because my dealership doesn't know what to do. Could GM customer service help me with this?

My seat issues just showed up at 6K miles. I had the vibration problem (fixed with new Michelins at my expense). It also makes a horrible noise from the rear end suspension (mostly when cold and damp), and my headlights fog up. I'm tired of taking my new truck to the dealer with no resolutions. I'm afraid to mod and have warranty issues. I think I will drive it like I stole it until something gives (until I trade).

Good news...I think. My service manager informed me that there is a service bulletin out for this moving and clunking seat! They have ordered the parts in and will service the truck upon the part's arrival.

Fingers crossed!

Will keep you posted.

Anyone else have the bulletin and fix?

I feel the seat shift now and then and will definitely take it in to get fixed once they get it right. Please update us.

I have had this problem also. Turned out to be something to do with the LIFT MECHANISM(?). This is the second 2014 that I have had this problem with. Bought one it was a lemon ,now I have just bought a second one and traded the first in on it less than two months ago. This is a little ridiculous for a 40,000 dollar truck. I would be interested in where your truck was assembled at. a word of advise ,don't adjust your seat when sitting in it.

Take a guess. But your real question should be who supplies the seats for GM and where are those assembled?

 

As far as your advice not to adjust the seat while sitting in it, how are you supposed to adjust it? This is ridiculous all right.

Mine was fixed by the service writer just recently. He installed a new seat rail and now its like new. No squeaking or movement at all. Totally happy with the truck again.

I'm at the dealership now. Service writer found the PI 1138 on her own and hopefully it will get fixed today.

I just complained about this on my new 2014 LTZ. Dealer ordered a part and it will be in tomorrow. The part number is 13587540 and is described as a frame. Has anyone had this part replaced, and if so did it work? They found the resolution very quick, so it must be a part recommended in some TSB.

So After leaving my truck with the dealer last Friday and taking a loaner to go back to work, they called a couple of hours later and said the mechanic could find nothing wrong with my seat. He "tightened a few things up" and has put the seat back in my vehicle. I'm just a little frustrated. I told the dealership that I would pick the vehicle up and that if the problem persisted or returned that I expected them to Follow the PI-1138 that they had printed and sent to the mechanic. I've driven the truck in regular fashion over the weekend and to date the seat has not moved, or made noise. We shall see. What is frustrating is that I explained the problem in detail, the service writer found the PI-1138 on her own without me mentioning it and sent it to the mechanic. The Mechanic chose to ignore the information in PI-1138, then chose to ignore the complaint that the seat moves when turning or breaking, did a cursory pulling of the seat and really did nothing to fix the issue other than "Tighten a few things up."

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
