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.

Yeah mine is 95% fixed as well. The front is solid as a rock but I can hear and feel it shifting from the back of the seat bottom. I guess they don't put any retainers there with this fix. But they definitely fixed the worst part which was the front shifting.

I am very close to selling my 2014 Silverado. This thing has been in the shop more than any vehicle I have ever owned and I am at 9000k miles. But it is the seat that is driving me insane. I have had the clip or shim fix three times and also had the actuator replaced. I took it into a dealer in Denver as we just moved here and they said they can't do anything and to wait and keep in mind there is supposed to be some movement. Really??? My seat is supposed to wobble? Sorry you cant tell me the sky is pink and i will believe it. And you want me to wait for a fix that may never come while my truck seat shift too and fro??? How is this acceptable? We have been planning on purchasing a Denali next month and because GM can't get a seat right on a 50k truck I will never buy their product again. I've been patient in dealing with this for a year but I am about done with GM.

The dealer said my seat in my '14 Denali was fine. After three visits they finally installed the hose clamps and it felt great. But only for a while. Now some movement is back. The seat now seems to move when I apply the brakes, forward and back. Not a very safe feeling!

It really makes you wonder if GM really road tested or had any real Quality Assurance performed on these trucks? A loose seat could cause a catastrophe in a major collision.


My truck just clocked in 12,000 miles and now the driver's seat is shifting. A lot. More and more by the day.


I am hesitant to ask the dealer to fix it because I think it will be a giant waste of my time. I don't have a Saturday to give to my Chevrolet dealership, again. I should start billing them for my free time? They are 50 miles from my house and hardly open on Saturday.


I am about ready to go trade this in for a Toyota truck, since they are made locally here in Texas and can actually service them on Saturdays. Pretty disappointed this Chevy Silverado was assembled in Mexico. No wonder the seats click and shift and feel so poorly built. This truck is a giant ball of overpriced leather.


I think I am going to get rid of this thing, if I can afford it.

Mine went in today. They performed pi1376 and he said they added a couple extra parts to make sure it was stable.

 

Drove off and no problems with the seat at all. Let's see if it holds up.

Not a Tundra! Not a bullfrog on steroids! I forgot Texas was Mexican free.

Mine went in this morning. The Service Advisor said that they have done about 30 seat frame replacements. They ordered parts and will have it done tomorrow. He knew exactly what I was experiencing.. to the point he was telling ME what my seat was doing. So, there is hope that it will get fixed the first time.

No, GM does absolutely no testing. They just bolt things together and sell them, is that the andwer you want?

 

Sure, go to your dealer on Saturday for free warranty work and tell them they need to pay you for using their free service, makes sense.

 

GM only has issues with a Mexico assembled product, you're a genius for figuring that out, much appreciated!

 

Goid luck with your Toyota Tundra. Maybe they will allow you to hook it up to the space shuttle with motorized wheels underneath and pretend tow it across a bridge? Since the Toyotas are built so well and don't have issues, why even worry about what day of the week it can be serviced?

Whatever you do, make sure that there is actually nitrogen in the tires if there are aftermarket valve stems on that thing. Would really hate to have to be punished reading another one of those topics.

Google search "2014 Silverado testing" and you'll find there's lots of videos.

i swear I've done that and never found testing videos from Chevy before the truck was released. But I'll try again

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
