Seat Movement Issues

[Jay700]

This is a epic fail on gm's part. Multi billion dollar company and they can't fix there seat. Come on gm you look lazy and greedy.

With all the millions of recalls GM is having right now we are last in line, much like the ignition problems they are having someone will have to have a serious accident before it gets addressed..

Thank you to hotrodz37. Just did this fix with a 3/4" hose clamp and some spare rubber laying around the shop. Works great and no more seat movement.

I too have this problem, 5500 miles. I have not spoken to my dealership yet, but will do this soon. Odd that I can trace this forum thread way back to last year and GM has not been able to fix this automatically for their 2014 vehicles built this year.

I have done the hose clamp and rubber fix to my Sierra and it has worked FLAWLESSLY the past week. I am so happy I can drive without tightening my cheeks around turns

Don't know what they did but they replaced the seat base and our problem is fixed

[grizzlyrafting]

Do you have any part #'s off the work order? I'm interested to know what exactly they replaced? Much appreciated and please report back in a couple weeks to see if the repair holds.. Thank you from us all...

I'll let you know. They did it last week and it's been fine since. They had to order in the part took 2 or 3 days. They also totally redid the frame and no more rust or chipping. Total removal of the grease/wax then under coated black. They do about a truck every 3 days.

I did the rubber and clamp fix a week and a half ago and it's been great ever since. It's certainly made the driving experience so much more enjoyable!

I really haven't followed this thread since I got rid of my first truck with its moving seats. I'm glad someone found a "fix" for a problem GM can't seem to figure out.. I'll keep this in mind if I have any issues with mine. Thanks hotrodz for the clever fix. BTW I clamped my adaptive valve open w a hose clamp too lol.

I have moved it every way possible and mine is still holding strong. Go for it!

Is your fix still holding up? Looks like I will be heading to the hardware store tomorrow !

There is supposed to be a redesigned part to fix this issue, still waiting on it to arrive but once it does and gets installed I post a picture.

I went ahead and did the hose clamp fix today and it completely eliminated it. Will have to see how it holds up. Hopefully it holds till the new part comes out.

I have only had my truck for two weeks and maybe it was my imagination, but I was hearing a click when I went around a curve. I didn't feel any movement, yet. So I decided to try to do the DIY fix on page 19 of this thread as a preventative measure to support the existing hardware.

 

The 1" hose clamps were no problem to find, but I wasn't sure where to find the clamps with the rubber insert. Anyway, long story short if you want to do this the clips in the photo below were what I used. I found these in the electrical section (near the electrical conduit) in Lowes. These clamps were 1 inch and I didn't need the total amount of rubber so I clipped off what wasn't needed on the hose clamp. Easy fix, just hope it keeps me from getting the full fledged problem. Ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure?

 

You can see the product and product #. The Lowes item #48633

 

Each pack came with one clamp and was $1.68.

 

Some of you may have already known where to find these, but I had to hunt. I thought I would share the info in case there was someone else like me out there searching for these.

 

You can see the unused clamps and the excess rubber I trimmed off in the picture below.

I had a hard time finding those clips too. I ended up cutting a bicycle tube and putting the hose clamp over that. So far so good zero movement.
