Is there a bulletin out on this yet? Has anyone gotten a fix that works? My seat seems to be moving more often and the clunck has lessened in noise.

Dealer called last week and said they installed clips as-per a bulletin / case they opened with GM, but have not had a chance to drive it since their still waiting for the heater core to come in.

 

They mentioned that they replaced the service managers seat frame for the same issue.

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.

Thanks, I think I'm going to talk to my dealer about it and see. I know they are waiting for parts on my rear window, might as well get the seat parts on order too.

Had the seat track replaced about 2 weeks ago. So far this seems to have fixed the problem.

Had the clips installed on both seats last week. Now it seems as the cluck and slipping is worse than it was before!! Instead of feeling it during braking and turns it can be felt with the slightest bump or turn. Looks like another trip to the dealership. I have also noticed that my leaf springs have started squeaking pretty bad!

I heard GM's fix for the squeaks is to turn the stereo up.

I've got the clunky seat problem as well. I have the heated and cooled seats, and noticed it when the seat is at the higher end of its adjustment range. The dealership took the seat apart and added more stuffing to it to prevent the leather from moving, which has helped some, but now the cooling doesn't work very well. Also, it still clunks and thunks around corners, just not as bad. The Service writers are still hoping for a technical bulletin that will give them some guidance as to what to do.

While I have seen lots of interesting problems over the years with new vehicles, this one is surprising.

I took mine in a couple weeks ago for the same issue and they replaced the seat frame. No problem now.

So far no smell and really no other issues. This is the best truck I have ever owned. If I had not been told that the rear slider was on a recall list I would have never known it. I'm supposed to schedule my first oil change visit this week and the seat issue has been mentioned.

Yes! There is finally a service bulletin on this issue. I had what felt like something shifting inside the driver's side seat cushion when I turned the vehicle. Had my truck at the dealership twice for this issue and one other that they couldn't seem to fix. On the fourth day of them scratching their heads (today), a service bulletin came through and so far, it seems like that issue is resolved. Btw, I have leather bucket seats w/ heat/cool.

Does anyone have a copy or link to the service bulletin? Thanks

My seat does the same thing. What dealer did you go to for the fix. I would like to take mine to a dealer that has fixed the issue and knows of the bulletin.

On my work order, it states:

 

Reinspected as per PI 1183. Performed left front seat update. Lubed pivot points and added retainers. Completed as per PI.

 

Parts used for this PI:

Qty: 2 Part# 11611745 Desc: Retainer 11.373

Qty:1 Part# 12371287 Desc: Lubricant 8.800

 

So glad I refused to pick up my truck until something was fixed.

      Rattle in the rear!

      I've tried everything and still have the rattle.  My next thing to eliminate is the seatbelt connection on the real pillar.  The cover seems loose and could be the source.  I found one of my grandsons video games in the back seat rest compartment   and had a glimmer of joy, but that wasn't it.  I'll keep trying.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.
