fixing the seat isnt a problem guys, its keeping it fixed that is the problem.

So this is a temporary fix only?

Posted

from the dealer? yes. i don't think anyone has a dealer fix except for replacing the entire seat frame that lasted. maybe if they drilled holes in the frame and put the clips through the bar it would work like another posted mentioned. i've had mine repaired twice at the dealer with new clips each time. both failed within 30 days.

My seat doesn't move at all, but when I lean my back against the seat-back, it squeeks. Is this what happened to you guys before your seats started moving?

No. My seat is quiet. Only the bottom shifts around in turns.

Finally got seat fixed. It has been good all day so maybe it will stay that way.

 

They tried TSB fix a few times and finally took the seat apart and found that the brackets that hold the seat cushions to the rails needed to be replaced.

 

Seat is rock solid now.

My seat has started to move on the drivers side. When making turns you can feel the lower cushion move side to side. Can honestly say I have never had a GM back to a dealer for a problem, but this is very annoying. I have a few issues with my 14 that drive me nuts. The seat, my rear floor sounds like an old oil can, and it has a tick at idle. Every time my dog moves around in the back the floor sounds like an old oil can. I can go back there and press on the floor and it pops up and down...Thinking on trading it for a different brand.

Tick at idle? Are you hearing the injectors as they do such on a DI engine.

Another seat fixed. Less than $5. Bought everything at lowes. Works perfect

So now GM is making weak seats for their cars and trucks? Is this some hidden health related message for the owners to lose weight?

For everyone that is having the seat issue this is the easiest/fastest known way to fix it. I know a lot of us think we shouldn't be fixing anything on a new truck but this will save you plenty of headaches. This over taking it to the dealership any day! I used the exact same items listed above. IT WORKS.

Two weeks into ownership of my brand new truck and my next "mod" is to fix one of their design problems! Weak sauce GMC!

 

Either way, sounds like i'll give this a shot and not mess with taking it to the dealership

I had a couple hose clamps in my tool box and I just sliced up a piece of old garden hose to go with it. For the first time in a month I enjoyed driving my $56,000 truck. Well done GM, oh wait they didn't help and they still took their sweet time NOT helping me. And the dealer told me it was normal, big props to them to, thanks much.

 

 

Hey hose clamp guy, you ever in MA look me up. I'm buying you a nice steak :thumbs:

 

Buying my nephew one too, I took him for a ride yesterday and he helped me find a rattle. I could have sworn I didn't order a rattle with my truck but the nice folks at GM must have decided I deserved a free one for the $400,000 I've spent in the last 8 years. Thanks GM, you are just too good to me.

 

PS

The rattle my nephew pinpointed for me is in the sunglasses holder, there is a little tab hanging down that locks it locks and unlocks it. I put some foam in behind it to stop the rattle. I had it in to the dealer for that too, they told me the passengers front door was out of alignment so they fixed it right up for me, too bad that wasn't it. Thanks again GM, i'll see you in the spring when I am ready for a new sports car, oh wait, no I won't. Because I won't be shopping GM anymore. I'm thinking a Hell Kitty is in my future.

 

PPS

Apologies to the nice lady who had the misfortune of calling me for my GM service visit survey last week.

 

And to Eddie from GM who had the gaul to respond to this thread on the 14th, you have got to be kidding me. Have you actually read any of the posts in this thread. You have some serious nerve young man.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
