My driver's seat has developed play/slack in it. Fix?

[KMeloney]

My '01 Z06 had the dreaded "rocking seat" problem before I fixed it with an aftermarket kit. Well, my year-old '23 Denali's driver seat has just started to develop a tiny bit of slack/play in it where quick acceleration will cause it to shift back a hair (and then obviously shifts forward under braking -- although I can't feel that shift per se).

Anyone else have (and resolve) a similar problem?

(Sucks, 'cause my truck was just at the dealership for an oil change and updates just a couple weeks ago.)

Still under the 3/36 warranty? It’s hard to believe an $80k plus vehicle would have that. Were you able to check the rear bolts?

Use the warranty. You paid for it.

Have not checked any bolts yet. In the Vette, I think the seat rails would spread slightly, and so the back and forth sliding sensation was more of a "rocking" that occurred under acceleration and braking. This could be the same thing.

To be clear, I can't imagine that the whole seat is coming detached from the floor, or the seat from the mounting mechanism or something -- I suspect it's "slack" somewhere in the 4-way seat-adjustment mechanism.

I absolutely will. I just wanted to see if others have experienced the same thing, and what the actual fix was.

In my Corvette (and probably in this truck), the issue wasn't a matter of bolts being loose. That would be an easy fix. It was a matter of slack developing in the motorized/multi-adjustment seat mechanism. I'm assuming it's a similar issue with my Denali seat.

Now that my adjustable seat-back bolster is also not working, I'm going to make an appointment with the dealership to have both issues corrected.
