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.

Back at dealer out of bumper to bumper. They report different issue, this time the seat track. Service manager is going to cover it. Sure saved a big debate!

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 had this same problem with my 2015 Sierra. Not only did my dealer deplace the shims, but they ordered a whole new braket of some sort. I guess something like a cross member that was also in there and replaced it all together. Thats been a couple of months ago and mine does not move anymore.

Same thing here. Just had it done and am not noticing it moving anymore. Will post the deal work shortly.

Top line item on my receipt shows retainer work for the seat issue.

Just did mine this afternoon. The movement has been driving me crazy. I hope this holds at least until I can stop anticipating the seat clicking side to side. Thank you for the fix.

I don't know about the passenger seats.

 

My question is does anyone with a 2016 think they have this issue. After having my dads 2015 High Country for about 50 days while I was waiting for my order to be delivered I definitely know that he the issue. I pointed it out to him and he said he never noticed.

 

I have had my 2016 1500 CC for almost 4 weeks about 1180 miles and I think my 16 has a slight movement issue on the drivers seat even with factory fix from the 14 & 15s issue built in from the factory now.

 

I guess I will drop a couple of bucks on clamps and give it a try.

 

My question is do you do the fix the same way after the white clips have been installed by Chevy/GMC?

Or is there a different way/place to clamp them?

 

Thanks.

i have some seat movement on my 2015 dbl cab but mine seems like the back rest part is moving foreword when braking then falling back once stopped is this the movement everyone else is getting? im also getting a popping sound from the same back part of the seat seems to be where the heat element is in the seat.

I had some time tonight. So a trip to Home Depot, $4 and about 15 minutes and the clamps are installed. I will test it out tomorrow as Tuesday is the day I spend the most miles on the road in a usual week.

 

I will report back. My wife asked me "Why are you going to HD to get clamps to fix your seat? It is a brand new truck." I giggled to my self and said "Because GM has yet to figure out how to fix this issue that has been going on since the 2014's were released."

 

PS. Her father was an electrical engineer for General Motors and retired and a few years ago passed away. I wish he was still here to see how much of these vehicles are "electrical and computer based" now.

My 2014 All Terrain has what feels like a loose seat. Frame seems tight but

like not locked in place. Haven't taken in. Still can't get the dealer to

assign the correct tire pressure sensors to correct wheels.

 

Transmission has had second reflash and still clunks or slow shifts

 

Right now Ford might look better, don't know. Just seems GM can't

fix there problems. So is it GM or dealers just incompetent on

making repairs

Quick question: Is there a bulletin out for this? What is the likelihood of the dealer telling me to get lost if I go in and let them know I'm having this issue?

I just his clamped mine and said f it

 

I also just clamped my 2016 (Ya my 2016 still had the seat shifting and clunk issue) and it worked like a champ! No more shift, the seat stays in place when making a turn. #JUSTCLAMPIT

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
