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

Posted

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.

    • Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks
    • Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different. 
    • I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
    • Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date. 
    • And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.
