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.

Hey b33tl3,

 

Great to hear the dealer was able to resolve your seat concerns! Please feel free to reach out to us in the future if you have any questions. We're always happy to assist.

 

Regards,

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.

    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
