Seat Movement Issues

[tbarn]

Hats off to your inginuety but you guys are making this much more complicated than it needs to be. Take to the dealer and let them fix it. I have done about 10 of these and not one customer has come back bitchin'. Takes about an hour. You might even wait till the '16s come out and check them out while yours is being fixed.

Hi Tbarn, Thanks for your post. Can you tell us what is involved in the dealer (GM) repair of these seats? Does the seat have to come out of the truck and what parts are installed/swapped that anchor the lower seat pad/frame so it does not shift around?

 

have you seen this on 14's and 15's?

 

Thanks,

G

Are you reading this thread or are you just being an ASS? People have taken their TIME and trucks to the dealers to fix(me included) and the problem still persists.

 

Nice way to rub salt in the wounds by suggesting to "take a look at the 16's while ours are being fixed"....you sound like a douche lol

Sounds to me like a tech that knows what he's doing.

Sounds like you need to find another dealer. Pretty sure anyone that has had the latest fix to correct the seat movement issue hasn't had any further problems, me included.

I'll stand by a 100% success rate using the bulletin. Seems to me you should find another dealer. And maybe some quaaludes.

For the record, you can't lol your way out of calling someone a douche.

Whats the latest fix!? The "shim kit"? This (to my knowledge is only fix) that and beg the dealer to order another seat and brackets..

Wish i could find some quaaludes and i just did lol by calling you a douche.

Quite a few people have complained that the problem has come back after the fix. I would guess that the little round plastic retainer has broken. The tsb should install two plastic retainers, one that simulates the hose clamp trick and one that is a tiny little round white piece of plastic used as a shim. It should also include removing the seat and lubing the shaft to reduce creaking.

What is funny here is I bet this "douche" could fix your seat problem for you in about an hour LOL

Ok Guys,

I had my Tahoe to the dealer today for the seat fix. They said they put the shims in. So on the way home I made sure I was taking a lot of turns. Didn't feel any movement. They didn't have my order ready so they are mailing it to me or so they say. They were also supposed to do the passenger seat too. I guess when my hubby is driving I will get a chance to see if they actually did fix it. I will definitely keep you up to date on if it starts up again. From what I can tell if it does it doesn't take too long. I have 21,000 on my 2015 so I am sure I will be driving a lot.

Barn, what makes this so complicated is this should not be a problem for all these GM customers to deal with this type of defect. The seats should be recalled and make the seat/frame manufactures pay for the repairs, waiting, rental car... And throw in an incompetent dealer that knows zero about customer satisfaction - and you wonder why so many people are pissed off. I waited one week and the dealer forgot to order parts, took another week to complete repairs!!! I see problem is now reaching into the new Yukon/Suburban.

I had my dealer fix the seat movement issue and the fix lasted for about 2 weeks. It is now worse than it was when I brought it in...

 

Update...I just took the time to actually look at the fix and noticed the tab on the new retainer clip had popped out of place. It looks like it is going to keep happening so I am going to resort to the hose clamp fix.
