I'm taking mine in tomorrow. They have a new bulletin posted previously that fixes this issue so I'll let everyone know. This will be the 3rd dealer fix.

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.

they said they fixed it :) but yes it was an attempt. the newest seat bulletin actually puts black clamps on the white clips to prevent them from sliding, somewhat like the hose clamp fix. i'd rather get my hose clamps back and have a GM approved fix so I will update this thread in 30 days.

Dropped mine off at the dealership this morning with this issue on the list. Service writer was familiar with the issue and said it probably needs shimmed. He thought they carried the parts in stock so I should know if it worked later today.

Holy crap!!! Is this what I have to look forward to? The dealer just installed those hose clamps on my seat after a YEAR of me complaining. It will be out of warranty in seven months, too. 2014 was a bad year for the Sierra...

Dealer ended up giving me a loaner while they ordered parts for the seat. Apparently there was an update to the TSB that added an additional part they didn't have. Part will be in tomorrow.

Does anybody have the latest TSB number on the seat movement fix?

It should be on my paperwork when I pick my truck up tomorrow. I will post the info when I get it.

Here is the information on the paperwork regarding the seat movement repair. The seat is solid now, but I guess only time will tell.

Unfortunately no. I looked everywhere and the TSB was not anywhere on the paperwork. I figured I would at least post the part numbers for reference.

Was hoping I missed it. If nothing else will print your pic. Thanks for the information

Was this supposed to be fixed on newer trucks? My truck was built in March 2015 and a few times already I felt the seat move back when I was coming to a stop? It rarely happens right now, but I assume it will get more frequent with more time.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
