Seat Movement Issues

[GMCustomerService]

 

OMG! I'm new here and I have the same complaints about my driver seat in my 2014 Z71. I've been back and forth to the dealer about it and had all the bandaids done with no resolve, in fact, it's worse than ever!

I too, wish I had my 2007 'oil consuming' truck back again. At least the seats were nice!

Is this still happening on the 2015's?

No. They use the hose clamp fix at the factory now.

I took my truck this morning to the dealer for some issues, regular maintenance, and the seat movement issue. They said they need to replace the seat tracks on mine. They ordered them and said it should be here in a week. Hopefully my seat gets fixed and it stops moving around when driving. They weren't able to fix my other issues because they said they couldn't duplicate it even though I brought in video of some of it. There's no codes so there's no issues they said. What a joke. I'm gonna try to post the pictures and video up here.

Do you think the late build 2014's have the hose clamp fix? Such as a 2014 Rally Edition?

If GM is using the hose clamp fix they should have to pay the guy on this site for using his idea............

My 2014 Sierra SLT was delivered mid August and the drivers seat moves every time I turn a corner.

I had seat shifting movement (I hate the 2014 silverado seat!!! not made for us larger bodied people!!) dealer ordered "clips" that took a couple weeks to get in, they were replaced two days ago and so far I don't have the seat shift or noise anymore.

I had the frame replaced in my truck and it's worse than the very first time I took it in. Apparently they need to cut bolts to re attatch the new tracks to the original frame, now it comes loose because they can't duplicate the factory torque specs that were designed to never come appart in the first place. I am currently waiting for a decision from my dealer on what to do next. At this point they need to just replace the entire seat with a new one from the 2015 batch, otherwise they can just take the whole truck back!

This does not make any sense. Can't duplicate the torque spec? Every bolted connection is designed to be taken apart if needed. If you do not want something to come apart without cutting, you weld it together.

How "larger bodied"? 400+ lbs?

I waited a few months to respond on this forum, but I had seat movement also a few months ago. I told the dealer, and they ordered the necessary parts which took about 3 to 4 weeks to arrive. The seat was repaired August 2014, and since that time I have not had anymore seat movement. During my initial visit to the dealer, I did provide them a copy of the bulletin I found on this site. I guess I was lucky (so far) with the seat repair.

6'4" 290

just not near as much padding as former seats like in my 07 and 11, plus the seat is angled back so far that us with longer legs they hang off the end of the seat which is not comfortable for long trips wish I could at least bring the seat to level position instead of angled back so far.
