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.

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.

Do you have a power seat or manual seat?

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.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
