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.

These GM reps who chime in are clueless and have no bearing or significance on fixing issues. It's the same old fake apology and is totally useless....

So I was able to solve the seat movement issue as a few others with hose clamps. I bought 2 - 1" hose clamps, and 2 - 3/4" rubber clamps and slid the rubber off of those and onto the hose clamps. I bu

whatever... I'm sure 2013 Chevy was perfect and had no issue. I'm sure your 1996 Ford is also perfect and never had any issues ... The truth is that every car/truck, every year has it's issues. Th

Thanks for this.   Just re-quoting for all the new members because I spent about 20 minutes trying to find the fix, with pics.

I think that's all they are allowed to say on these forums. It is easy for us customers to bash GM, but when you work for them, you have to be really careful what you say in a public forum.

And I totally understand but why don't you ever hear from an engineer or some one up the chain who can do something about issues. My 14 Sierra doesn't vibrate like most do and my seat doesn't move but I feel for these guys who spend $50K or so for a truck and have to deal with this crap... It would solid discouraging. When the reps chime in I'm sure it doesn't make those guys feel any better because the end result is pretty much the same. It's easy to copy and paste we're sorry to hear you're having a problem but it doesn't seem easy to forward these complaints and issues to the ones who can do something about these issues.

The loaner I had earlier this week had a terrible seat movement issue. I laughed when I felt it the first time. I have been lucky my truck doesn't have that particular issue...

I just took my truck in and this was on the "list" of issues I have. Bought it in February this year and was told to put some miles on it before addressing any issues by GM. well I got 4,600 miles on it finally.

 

"Couldn't Duplicate The problem". Nor could they duplicate the vibration in the dash that makes the truck un-drivable. That took a second trip and when I took the tech guy for a ride it was amazing...I never got the truck over 15 mph and ta da! there it was.

 

On the bright side...after the flash of my ECU for the recall...I'm back down to 12 MPG's!

 

I've lost all confidence in GM.

I fixed my seat with the hose clamps this past weekend. What an improvement! Didn't bother with the dealer since they have terrible customer service.

8700 miles in and my seat started moving. Mostly in low speed maneuvers such as parking lots, in and out of my driveway. I'll be hose clamping mine very shortly.

Took my 2014 in last wednesday for soft ware up dates, they checked and repaired seat keep truck three days, seat is worse than it was before they fixed it, scratched the rear passager door, soft ware updates killed my fuel milage, waiting on phone call to see what they are gonna do about the door, knowing the cal will never come, will have to go back out there, my truck was running good, should have put the hose clamps on and left it alone, if you want your truck tore up take it to Tuscaloosa Alabama, Chevy Dealer...........Putting the hose clamp fix on tomorrow............

My 2015 Yukon SLT is having this same issue. The driver seat has a slight shifting feeling on turns. Haven't taken it to the dealer yet because I know its going to be hard for them to feel what I am feeling driving it everyday.

 

On another issue, both my break lights are getting condensation in them on cold days and after a wash. Spoke to the dealer about this and they said they need to see it but the condensation dries quickly when you drive it. Just another frustrating problem with this vehicle. I will be starting a separate thread on this to see who else is having this issue.

I found taking pictures and video with my phone can get a lot done. Especially when they call the GM approval boob...as soon as they say "he has video" all kinds of things get approved.

 

That's how I got the Tranny and t-case replaced in my 2009 Silverado...if I parked on a slope while in auto 4x4 and 4x4 engaged before putting it in park...the t-case went into neutral and that bitch would go rolling back down the slope! They told me I was full of it 3 times...then I brought video...Game Changer! GM couldn't find any problems and just replaced everything.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?
