Manual Recline Problem

Wondering if anyone else has had issues. I have a 2014 Silverado with manual seats. I have had numerous issues with the recline function on the seat. It locks up and I have to bring it into the dealer. Each time they indicate that the "rod assembly" has popped off and they had to put it back into place. For a few months it will work great, then it will start working hard, making a clicking/grinding type sound until it locks up again and its non functional. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I rarely adjust the recline of the seat, because Im fearful that it will "pop" off again. Just happened to me again, luckily its locked in a position where I can still comfortably drive, until I get to the dealer. Not so fun when its too forward or too back. Thanks for any input.

Hey Bbarley,

 

I am sorry to hear you have some concerns with your seats recliner function. I can understand how this would be very inconvenient when the seat was stuck in a uncomfortable position. I see that you are going to take this into the dealership to get it repaired again and I wanted to offer my assistance. If you would like me to reach out to the dealer on your behalf, so they they can schedule an appointment with you, please let me know!

 

Kindly,

Anthony, thanks. Ill be going in on Saturday for service and Ill see if they can address it then. Ill let you know if I have any issues. All in all the dealership has been great with temporarily fixing the issue, but I'm thinking there must be a bigger underlying problem if it keeps happening.

      Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.

      AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.
