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

      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.
