Seat Movement Issues

[SSLoki]

My parts are in and I am taking my truck in on Wed. Lets see how this goes.

 

Also is anyone else having a problem with the seat cushion folding up along the outside of your legs. When I get in and out of the truck the seat cushions just folds and doesn't return to it's normal shape.

Ok. So this is what was done for my seat. I hope this makes sense to everyone. 11611745 F Retainer. 1.4lubricate front seat pivot points, install seat actuator shim clip and seat cover retainers. as per attached bulletin # 3743752

My front drivers seat just started moving on corners as well

 

Feels like a click then it moves about 1/2 inch

I'm only 185 lbs and it was doing it for me on every turn. Now it isn't. I think they tightened something up inadvertently. I don't know why they would tell me they found nothing, but the problem is fixed.....for now anyway.

Movement is back. Started last night. I wish the dealer would at least employ swimsuit models in customer service. Then I might be a more patient and understanding customer when I keep going back there once a week for issues.

Since there is no GM fix yet, I'll post again what I did. I bought a set of screw type hose clamps and lined the inside with rubber from an old bike tube. I put these hose clamps on the rod the seat mounts to and butted them up against the while seat mounts on the outboard sides. Tightened them down and have had no issues for a few months now. Works until GM figures it out.

I noticed my seat began moving after about 3 months of owning it. Build was started Jan 2014. I took it in to my service dept and mentioned it to them. They said yes, we do have a service bulletin.

 

Bulletin # PI1183

 

(2) 11611745 Retainer 11.373 N

(2) 332364 Retainer 8.950 Y

 

Seems like the fix has worked thus far, but it's only been 4 days.

There is a bulletin for this. They fixed mine while it was at the dealer. Just picked up today. Seats are great but now theres rock chips in my windshield and grill. Service managers ordering a new windshield

I had the latest fix applied about two weeks ago. It is already shifting again and now its worse than ever.

Same here, had PI1183 done about a month ago, felt good for about 3 days then started shifting and clunking even more than before.. Very frustrating!!! Please help GM.....

I've got the same problem. I've been dealing with this since my first thousand miles and are now due for my first oil change. It would've been there sooner but I've been working 6 and 7 days a week for three months now. I was hoping to just go in there for my oil change and have them fix the seat at the same time but after reading everyone's posts that might not happen. So I guess I'll have those clips put in and complain a week later that it's not fixed? Awesome!

just to add on to the pile- thought i was one of the lucky ones but after 4 months my seat has developed this same problem.

Im taking my truck in on Friday for the seat issue (i have power seats). Hopefully i don't get told it is normal like i did with the radio reception

[tyler_84c]

My seat was doing the same thing.. clunk and movement around corners braking..

 

Argued with the dealership, they kept telling me it was normal.

 

Finally I went in and showed them it wasn't normal and it turns out the motor for the seat on the front driver side(door side) was missing a bushing which allowed the motor mount to have alot of play.

 

I guess they forgot to put it on. I'm guess my truck was built on a friday of a long weekend. I hope this isn't a clue of what is to come.

I took a look at mine and was able to move it around by hand and see some slop. One thing that I figured out is if I lower the front part of the seat bottom all the way down then raise the rear up to where I am comfortable the looseness goes away. In mine it appears to be something in the front pivot up and down that is bad. I prefer to have the front of the seat raised some but I will live with it like this until GM figures it out or I fix it myself. Really a shame that something so basic and could be fixed so easy with GM's resources that we have to live with it." No GM customer assistance needed to make an appointment Thank you".

This seat issue and the fact I have to live with it after spending nearly $55,000 is insane and the lack of customer service on top of that to correct it is salt in the wound. I get people coming up and asking about the truck daily and I've been telling them about the seat problems and that they shouldn't spend the money on one of these until the seats are fixed..

Had my truck in for it's first oil change and tire rotation. I mentioned to them that I had the seat movement issue and they said they'd look at it. After my service was finished the service manager said that he had seen the bulletin and ordered the parts and would call when they had arrived. So the first step went well, as I expect from my dealership. We'll see what happens after the parts are installed.
