Seat Movement Issues

[lemmuhj]

This is what they did to mine..it still has a very slight sound/movement issue. Id say its about 95% fixed:(

Trying to posy a pic of my service receipt^^^

[Silverado-Hareek]

Yeah mine is 95% fixed as well. The front is solid as a rock but I can hear and feel it shifting from the back of the seat bottom. I guess they don't put any retainers there with this fix. But they definitely fixed the worst part which was the front shifting.

I am very close to selling my 2014 Silverado. This thing has been in the shop more than any vehicle I have ever owned and I am at 9000k miles. But it is the seat that is driving me insane. I have had the clip or shim fix three times and also had the actuator replaced. I took it into a dealer in Denver as we just moved here and they said they can't do anything and to wait and keep in mind there is supposed to be some movement. Really??? My seat is supposed to wobble? Sorry you cant tell me the sky is pink and i will believe it. And you want me to wait for a fix that may never come while my truck seat shift too and fro??? How is this acceptable? We have been planning on purchasing a Denali next month and because GM can't get a seat right on a 50k truck I will never buy their product again. I've been patient in dealing with this for a year but I am about done with GM.

The dealer said my seat in my '14 Denali was fine. After three visits they finally installed the hose clamps and it felt great. But only for a while. Now some movement is back. The seat now seems to move when I apply the brakes, forward and back. Not a very safe feeling!

It really makes you wonder if GM really road tested or had any real Quality Assurance performed on these trucks? A loose seat could cause a catastrophe in a major collision.

My truck just clocked in 12,000 miles and now the driver's seat is shifting. A lot. More and more by the day.

I am hesitant to ask the dealer to fix it because I think it will be a giant waste of my time. I don't have a Saturday to give to my Chevrolet dealership, again. I should start billing them for my free time? They are 50 miles from my house and hardly open on Saturday.

I am about ready to go trade this in for a Toyota truck, since they are made locally here in Texas and can actually service them on Saturdays. Pretty disappointed this Chevy Silverado was assembled in Mexico. No wonder the seats click and shift and feel so poorly built. This truck is a giant ball of overpriced leather.

I think I am going to get rid of this thing, if I can afford it.

Mine went in today. They performed pi1376 and he said they added a couple extra parts to make sure it was stable.

 

Drove off and no problems with the seat at all. Let's see if it holds up.

Not a Tundra! Not a bullfrog on steroids! I forgot Texas was Mexican free.

Mine went in this morning. The Service Advisor said that they have done about 30 seat frame replacements. They ordered parts and will have it done tomorrow. He knew exactly what I was experiencing.. to the point he was telling ME what my seat was doing. So, there is hope that it will get fixed the first time.

No, GM does absolutely no testing. They just bolt things together and sell them, is that the andwer you want?

 

Sure, go to your dealer on Saturday for free warranty work and tell them they need to pay you for using their free service, makes sense.

 

GM only has issues with a Mexico assembled product, you're a genius for figuring that out, much appreciated!

 

Goid luck with your Toyota Tundra. Maybe they will allow you to hook it up to the space shuttle with motorized wheels underneath and pretend tow it across a bridge? Since the Toyotas are built so well and don't have issues, why even worry about what day of the week it can be serviced?

Whatever you do, make sure that there is actually nitrogen in the tires if there are aftermarket valve stems on that thing. Would really hate to have to be punished reading another one of those topics.

Of course they test. 2014 just tested for 2015 and they test for 2016.

i wish Chevy would post YouTube videos of testing like Nissan Titan XD has been posting. They have posted 6 different videos and I can't find anything on my 2014 Silverado

Google search "2014 Silverado testing" and you'll find there's lots of videos.

i swear I've done that and never found testing videos from Chevy before the truck was released. But I'll try again
