Seat Movement Issues


Recommended Posts

Finally got my truck in to dealer for seat issue. They told me that the seat adjuster needs replaced. Said that the seat adjuster pivots are loose and will have to replace the entire adjuster. He told me that part is on back order because this issue has happened a lot and they are redesigning it. Said they would call when part was in.

b1gted,

 

I am truly sorry to learn that you are continuing to experience an issue with your vehicle regarding your seat moving. I would like to look into this concern for you and see if we can try a different approach at this issue.

Jennifer you have been working with me in Private messages. You setup the appointment for me. Not sure what else can be done at this time. they ordered a "Seat Adjuster" they just have no idea when it will be available. The dealer did everything they could I believe at this time? What did you have in mind for a different approach at this issue?

Hey b1gted, Have you heard anything back from the dealer on part availability? This is the exact feeling I have. The rear of the seat bottom seams to click/pop from side to side and the seat also clicks when I first get in like it is loose. I have been meaning to get under the seat and take a look before I go in for my 2nd follow up appointment on this issue.

 

I am weary to believe they actually have a redesign already, but maybe it has been an more prominent issue that has been brought up to the dealer at a higher level than I thought. Let me know what you hear and if it leads to any success with the adjuster swap out. The truck didn't do this at first, so it seems like something wore out and just hoping it wont happen again (IE. need a redesign or fix of sorts). Thanks.

I am weary to believe they actually have a redesign also. Just letting everyone know what they told me at the dealer. The GM Customer care person is supposed to be following up on this and getting back to me. But, no, I haven't heard from her, or from the dealer about anything. They acted like they had no idea when the part would be available, just that the ordered it and would let me know when it is in.

 

You have same exact issue, Mine didn't do this when I first got truck in July of this year. It is consistantly getting worse month to month. At first it just did it every once in a while, now it does it when I first get in the truck and on every turn or bump that forced my body to lean side to side at all.

Hey there,

 

I do apologize for the delay in responding. I have checked your case notes. Your agent is continuing to work with your dealership and I am reaching out to some of my internal resources to see if I can answer all your question regarding resolving your moving seat issue.

 

Thank you for your patience,

Jennifer, Is there a way for you to get in touch with someone who can tell us what the lead time for these seat assemblies is? I have a meeting with my dealer tomorrow morning and I am guessing that is the situation I will be in...waiting for a seat to be found. As a customer who currently owns the vehicle, I believe I should get preference over vehicles going down the line, but unfortunately GM already has my money and the ones on the line only earn them more, so I am likely lowest on their list.

 

In my personal opinion this is a big miss with GM due to the fact that this part is 100% related to the customer's experience, not to mention something that is fundamental to every car on the road today, so what makes this one so difficult to do correctly?

 

I am sick of feeling like I am sitting on a snow tube on a cold winter day as I go around corners in this truck. At first it was once or twice, now all the time, so there is a definite wear out mode here. The rear of the bottom portion of the seat just seems to clunk from side to side. I took a look under the seat to see if there was any noticeable slop in the bracket without digging too far, but I cant seem to find it. I can feel it and hear it under the seat, but cant seem to pinpoint the direct area.

 

I love the truck, but this experience is making me wish I would have never got rid of my 2011 Ford F150 ecoboost (which was a new model year also for all of you people that tend to use that as an excuse).

b1gted, I went to have them look at the seat today and they are going to replace the entire seat bracket (similar to your situation). However, they said I could have a bracket installed by Tuesday/Wed of next week. I am not sure whether I should believe it or not that they will get the bracket in that time due to your prolonged waiting...

 

The service advisor was very limited in his words and none of them gave me screaming confidence that it will be here next week.
