4X4Sierra5.3,

 

Hello! I am sorry to learn that you are experiencing an issue with your vehicle regarding the seat moving. I am more than happy to look into this concern for you. Could you private message me referencing this thread and include your contact information, VIN, exact mileage, and preferred dealership?

Hi Jennifer,

I bought my 2015 Tahoe in July of 2014. I noticed not 3 months later it was making clicking noise as I was turning. My husband noticed it also when he drove it. It also happens on the passenger side. I took it to Faulkner Ciocca in PA where we bought it and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I am seat paranoid. I had a 2012 GMC Acadia that phyically hurt my tailbone to drive. I got rid of that for the Tahoe. I like to drive the Tahoe but the seat issue is well a pain in the butt!. It almost sounds like it is moving on the thread of a bolt or something like that. Not a big movement but still moves. They told me that they tightened all the bolts on both the driver and passenger seats but they still make the noise when turning. I noticed this not 3000 miles. I drive a lot so I have many miles on it now. Is there anything I can tell the dealer to look for so I can have this issue resolved?

Thanks,

Jayne

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.

My drivers seat bottom has started shifting in turns. It's quite noticeable.

I had my seat "fixed" by my local dealership, and now the problem is slowly coming back.

 

I would like for a GM Rep to pm me to discuss this further. I dont have the time to keep going back and forth to the dealership.

Yea good luck. These reps are totally useless and have no bearing or significance on getting the problem fixed.

I had mine to the dealer today and they said that they have to get a new seat for it. i find it hard to believe that will fix the issue. I guess only time will tell with this. I will keep you all posted on if it was fixed when the new seat comes in or if that one will do the same dang thing.

^ Please do. Im beyond pissed off now with this recurring seat issue. Mine seems to be getting worse by the day. May have to go back thru this thread and find the hose clamp fix and try that.

Had mine fixed about three months ago.

 

It's worse now. However, it no longer clicks and moves during turns. It does it on acceleration now.

Mine is the same, no longer clunks when turning. It's now popping when accelerating/slowing down.

 

Yup I'm writing the dealer about it now.

Is the problem with the '14's only and the early '15's as well? Does anyone with a later '15 have any problems? Just wondering if anything was changed on the later '15 seats.

Just wait. I've had mine in three times. At first they said it was normal. They eventually fixed it. Now I've got 36,000 miles on my '14 and it's worse than ever.

Same problem here. Dealer finally installed a new frame. 6 trips to the dealer, seems to be holding for now.

I couldn't stand it any more and had dealer make the repair.

It would have taken a full week but, said I had to wait in line due to dealer being sooo busy - B.S. Either they forgot or they didn't want there 3rd party warranty to go thru ( the same I had to call and get approval for) . They must have forgotten because they didn't get the parts. Took truck in for the second week and after waiting another week and till after closing they go the job done and it seems to be doing the job.

Next:

Spark Plug wires falling off

Transmission/rearend/ujoints... slamming when letting off gas or going down hill.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
