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.

Posted

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.

    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.         
    • I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far. 
    • I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install. 
    • Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
