My seat moves during turns. But it feels to me like the frame is solid. I think my seat cover shifts a little . I think it has to do with the warning system built into the seat.

Had it to the dealer twice and they tell me they can not find anything wrong.

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.

Well, I'm beyond Happy to report that my drivers seat movement issue is now GONE!!! I didn't pick-up the paperwork when I got my truck, as the Service advisor was swamped and said he'd mail it to me. Once I get it, I'll post a copy of it, showing the TSB#. Rick

Did the clunk get fixed too?

Yes. The very LOUD, noticeable "metal-on-metal" sounding rear-end clunk has also been eliminated, I believe through a combination of asking the service manager to have the torque checked on my leaf spring u-bolts, in combination with a transfer case program update.

Your shifting seat appears to be "the warning system built in the seat". It annoys you to the point that you remain alert at all times.

my seat also moves i only notice it when braking i have an electric with heated seats i played around with it the other day and it seams the movement is from the front where the seat motor is and in the rear seat rails both have quite a bit of play id say about 3/16" of play rear and maybe 1/8 in the front of the seat. its very annoying when coming to a stop and you feel the seat fall back when stopped

Just added this item to the list for dealer to service. I notice more with slow turns to the right off highway into parking lot. They said they have seen this before and will likely need a "bracket kit".

It looks like it does not take much to make a new Silverado/Sierra owner happy these days.

Let me clarify for you... Happy the tsb worked. Not happy I had to do it in the first place. Just trying to provide some hope for anyone dealing with this issue.

My seat shift has slowly began again. After being rock solid after fix in May, ten months later it is moving. Tried putting clamps back on without success. Was told that even off Warrentee now I have 12 months from fix to bring it back. Will wait another month and take it in.

I have a 2015 sierra with manual seats and I noticed a movement and clunk noise as well.usually slow speed turns and getting in and out of the truck. Only has 1573 miles on it.dealer said they couldn't duplicate so I went and drove it for them. Then when they heard it tried to minimize this issue and that in the service techs "opinion" it was just a noise and he doesn't feel it move.I hope they actually fix it but they seemed to act like didn't know what to do since the tsb was for 2014 models....

Hi Jennifer, My 2014 is doing the same thing with the seat movement.... Alos experiencing a noise froim the rear of the truck every morning when cool. Sounds like rapid bumping noise. Not sure if coming from the rear gears or is the locking differential. Dealer does not know what it is. They removed the drive shaft and lubed, but did not fix the noise. When the vehicle is driven and warm, there is no more noise. Thanks, Pete

 

My 2015 LTZ behaves just like this. Had the seat clip fix done a couple weeks ago... waiting to see if the issue appears again or not. I've probably lowered the seat my maybe half an inch at best. Mine too, has the rear noise issue in the cold. This happens mostly just when turning a corner from a standing stop, and seems to be coming from the left right part of the truck. I haven't complained to the dealer about this yet, as it often isn't cold enough on successive days down here in Florida. Too late this year. Will see if it re-appears next year when it's "cold"... under 45.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
