I bought a 2014 Sierra SLT certified used and am having a strange issue. Whenever I get close enough to an object parking and the warning goes off, I get a service driver assist message that I have to reset. Is there a problem or are you forced to manually reset this warning every time?

Check under the drivers seat for a small black wire that connects to both sides of the seat bottom foam. There are two haptic motors left and right on the bottom pad. The wire to one normally breaks. You should be able to pull on the wire pretty firmly and it shouldn't pull out, if it does, it's that haptic motor. Replace it. Done a whole lot of these for that particular problem.

I have a 2014 High Country that I bought new. I started getting the Service Driver Assist message a few weeks ago and my setting changed to audio, could not set it to the seat vibrator. Truck only has less than 24000 miles but over 36 months old so warranty is out. Dropped it off at dealer the other day for oil change and tire rotation and asked them if they knew what might be wrong. Said they would check it.

 

When they called that it was ready, said the left haptic motor was bad in the seat and it would be $399 to replace it!

 

Once I recovered I told them to just forget it, I wasn't paying that. They said OK, they didn't have the part anyway but if I changed my mind they could have it the next day.

 

When I picked it up they charged me $105 "diagnostic fee" because I had asked them to check it. Of course that would apply to the $399 if I decided to let them fix it within 30 days.

 

Came home and did what I should have first, checked for this problem online. And there must be thousands out there with the same problem. Always the wires just break off. Even found a couple of youtube videos on how to fix it. And to top it off, this part says "Made In China" right on the box. And can be bought online for $39 (genuine GM part).

 

I don't know when I have been so steamed that GM would put this cheap Chinese junk in their Premium vehicles and then charge premium prices for replacing them when they fail. And evidently it's not a matter of if, but when they will fail.They need to be replacing them for free, and source from some place capable of making a quality part.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
