Does anyone have a copy of the PI 1138 bulletin or point me to where I can print it. I would like to take it into the dealership when I take my truck in for the third time to fix the seat movement problem? Which by the way they say is "normal".

 

Thanks

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.

I have taken my truck back twice and I am still having the same problem. The dealer told me they have done all they can do until they hear from GM to fix the problem.

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.

I have had this replaced but after a few weeks the problem came back. I took it back in and they still can't fix the issue.

Until they get a good fix I think I will live with mine moving and popping. The thing that drives me crazy is the inconvenience of taking it in and waiting three hours for it not to be fixed.

What part is it that they are supposedly replacing and it does not seem to fix the problem?

They told me the bottom seat cushion brackets and harness had to be replaced. But after driving it around for a few weeks it started to do it again. I took it back and they told me that if they hear back from GM they have done all that they could do. Here is an idea for them. How about replacing the seat all together with one that is one piece and not two.

Replacing the harness? How could this possibly contribute to seat movement?

That's what I said. But I guess the seat comes in 3 parts. The frame, the back and the bottom section of the seat. I was told that the seat and frame didn't fit correctly and it needed brackets. I would like to see the step by step process on how it all works together. But after taking it back the 2nd time I am still having the same issue.

It is a mystery to me why GM would cut corners on seats in their highest profit vehicles. Heck, even the small Chevy Sonic I bought recently for 1/4 of the price you pay for these trucks, has decent seats without any inadvertent movement.

I'm having the same problem you describes, a slight movement of the driver's power seat in every corner.

How can GM fix this? I own a 1500 Silverado with 7,000 Kms.

My seat still moves, it is not as pronounced and does not make as loud a noise as before but it is still doing it. I think I'm going to wait until it is really bad and noticeable then take it back in.

I have sent email to [email protected] but haven't heard back. There was a recall on the passenger seat not securing properly and that was fixed. I sure hope they fix this issue before something happens to us that causes an accident. :help:

Seems to me that a redesigned seat with a more robust frame is the fix.

You gotta love the same old tiring response from Jennifer the GM rep.. "Sorry for hearing bla, bla, bla give us your mileage and vin number so I can dial a phone and make an appointment for you" like we are idiots and can't make our own appointment. What a joke, I've never seen her once answer a question or help a single person on this forum.. Why even bother?? Seriously...

      Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
