Seat Movement Issues

[pm26]

can you tell me more about this recall?

There is a whole thread on transmission line recall, 3rd from the top.

How about more info on this support bar added to new seat frame. Part number, TSB number. CMILLERJR, you might have found the holy grail of seat movement fix.

Anyone getting a squeak/fart sound from left side of driver's seat when sitting? Same sound as when you move around in an old leather recliner.

 

Took it to dealer and they acknowledged the sound but said they don't have a fix for it yet. As I tried to determine a cause & fix, I discovered it's the leather rubbing against the plastic trim. On the passenger seat, when you press down the leather bows out like normal. On the driver's, some of the leather actually slides down behind the plastic trim and make a loud, annoying noise as it rubs. I shoved a wash cloth way down between the leather & plastic trim and the noise was gone. Unfortunately, this is by no means a permanent fix and having a rag stick out your seat looks like crap.

 

Anyone also have this issue?

Have the exact same issue with my seat! I shoved an Amor All wipe in there, but it keeps coming back. It is SO annoying!

Part numbers?

He had to order all the parts, so I don't have numbers right now. Once they do the install, and I get the service invoice I will post them.

 

The recall was just for loose tranny lines, it is very limited (10-15) total out of all manufactured. The recall notice hasn't went out yet. Like PM26 said there is a entire thread on it. Mine was good to go.

Mine did it too, but not all the time. My dealer installed clips under the seat cushion, that reduced the frequency of the squeak. It depends on how you have your seat adjusted. I found if I don't put it up as high it doesn't do it. Again not a acceptable fix on a 46K truck, but for me I fond a spot that comfortable and doesn't make any noise.

Take it to the dealer! They fixed mine shortly after my post. The leather behind the plastic was loose... they're pulled it tight, reattached, and the noise is gone. Still quiet after 3 months.

It looks like it was a bad workmanship issue in your case. It seems that some of these seat issues are design related, but not all of them.

Is your seat still stable after having the track replaced? I have to take mine it for the tranny line recall and would like to get the seat fixed at the same time. Not sure how most dealers are handling the recall but mine actually called to notify me and set up an appointment. I already knew that my truck was included in the recall from the monthly Onstar report.

Cmillerjr is any update to this possible seat fix regarding that support bar ?

Took my truck in yesterday at 9:00am (had an appointment) for transmission line recall and seat movement. I was assured it would be ready by 3:00 but after several calls and messages to the service guy I finally get him on the phone and he tells me to come get a rental they are not done. Even the shuttle service is running behind so I have to bum a ride. When I get to the dealership they had not even started on my truck they blamed all the recalls from all the GM models backing them up. I guess they don’t understand how to actually use reservations.

 

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode

Jerry: I don't understand. Do you have my reservation?

Rental Car Agent: We have your reservation, we just ran out of cars.

Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation.

Rental Car Agent: I think I know why we have reservations.

Jerry: I don't think you do. You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.

 

Anyway I asked for my truck back and they seemed shocked. They pleaded for 15 mins more to check it out. They were back with my truck in 10 minutes and claimed my transmission lines were good but they would order some new clips for them and my seat need new retaining clips that they also ordered

 

Needless to say I am skeptical but I will let y'all know if it fixes the seat.

My seat was stable up until I traded the truck in for another '14.

Nope not yet, the bar is still on back order. They said they hope to get it in next week. I can say my seat has gotten worse, so I hope it gets here soon and does the trick.

[bogeypro]

Took mine in today. They said there was sort of tsb out now. We will see....

Cmillerjr could you possibly find out what the TSB number is on this new support bar fix?

 

bogeypro can you post your TSB number as well when you get your truck back from dealer?

 

My nephew has a 2014 chevy and his seat is driving him crazy. He has already had the frame replaced but movement is back. His seat is the heated/cooled/vibrating accident avoidance style.

[calgator73]

Mine was replaced as well same type... Started moving again this week
