It's a shame a bunch of forum guys have this licked and GM missed it.
Loose "shift" feeling in LF seat when turning

I would like to know what the explanation/technical reason for those white clips being attached to that bar and even having the ability to slide side to side in the first place is.
PS - GLAD to have that gone. That was really annoying.

Great to know it worked!
I bet that GM uses a similar arrangement for their final fix to this TSB. Car should have came with a handful of hose clamps. I'm already 4 in for 2 fixes.

Taking the XL in for service on Monday to fix the seat issue. Service advisor seemed to think they could fix it and said I wasn't the first to call. Will report back next week.

You'd probably frown upon my transfer case control module wrapped in acoustic foam to keep me from hearing the world's most annoying noise (similar to dumb and dumber) that it has been making since I drove it off the lot with 4 miles on it. Hey in my book, 2 highly annoying problems fixed. Lol
My local dealers would tear more things up trying to fix this stuff than its worth. Plus it would take a dozen trips to get them to diagnose the correct thing. I have about a 50/50 rate of at minimum a door ding or a scratch every time I visit a dealer.

This.
I HATE dealers.
You go in with a problem. They fix it and scratch and nick things in the process.
One time..... go in to have a rear HVAC dial bezel replaced.
Sumbitxhes used RTV. Yes. RTV to glue it back together.
Had black stains on my headliner.
FU some of you GM Dealers.

LOL. RTV... haha. Nothing like using something as a glue that takes 24 hours to set up. At least they could have treated you to clear silicone. Hey, at least it wasn't orange tho! I think orange doesn't make it out from under the shade tree too often.
IF there are some good ones out there, I haven't found them.
For example, that seat. They'd have to start with removing the entire seat. There goes all of your trim/clips around the seat, odds are they would hit and scratch/gouge only the door panel if you are lucky, if not some of the painted area in the door opening. Not to mention some grease your interior all up.
Also, you would receive the mandatory Cannot Duplicate Customer Concern the first 3 or 4 times you went. Then, finally, you MIGHT talk them into doing something.
Just a nuisance.

Oh yeah ^^^^
Also grease marks on places.
And don't get me started on the "detail" staff at some dealers.
Idiots seem to use undiluted APC or something and then slather greasy runny tire shine on like everything.
Oh....... and worse than dealers...... are they dealer body shops.
Last I went the bastards left a clear thin film on my dash and plastic gauge cluster.
From leaving the windows open while working on it..... and over spray?

Update: got the Yukon back today. They replaced the seat frame. Problem fixed. Hopefully this takes care of it and it doesn't re-surface. After 4k miles, today was the first day I din't have the seat issue. What a difference...

Agreed. It is MUCH better once you get it fixed. That little stuff like that drives me crazy.

Glad you guys got it fixed. These things drive me crazy as well. How was the fix it sounds pretty in-depth?

The fix was very involved. They had to remove the entire seat and replace the frame then re-install. Of course now my seat doesn't vibrate when the lane departure warning goes off so it needs to go back in. Hopefully they just forgot to connect a wire. I checked the software setting on the Nav unit settings to make sure the vibrate box was checked and it was.

Prime example of why I did my 5 minute hose clamp fix.
At 3000+ miles I now have the dreaded seat clunk. GAWD THAT IS ANNOYING!
Reading through this thread to try and figure out what the fix is.
Current Sentiment on this is issue: I'm upset and wonder if they jerry rigged the seat knowing it would likely fail later. (Wondering why they didn't fix this when I took it in for the Transfer Case recall)
** Edit found fix on page 2 link here:
http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62923&page=2
Just finished reaching the other sites thread on this issue - Here's the big question...... does the dealer actually have a fix for this?? Or am I doomed to the hose clamp jerry rig fix? (PLEASE TELL ME that this isn't really be the situation)
End Edit **

Very frustrating that no dealerships know what I am describing. My 2015 Yukon Denali driver seat rocks and rolls with every turn I make. My brother in-law is having the same problem with his 2015 Yukon SLT. I'm scared to take it in bc I don't want the dealer coming up with his own fix before GM has an official fix for it.
The hose clamp fix appears to have solved it for me - not exactly a sophisticated solution but seems to be the only workable solution at the moment.

Philcallen, you could always take it to the Dealer with a copy of this post and have them replace the seat frame or you can reach out to the GM Customer Service rep who should be able to get this issue taken care of for you. Good luck with the repair.
