Loose "shift" feeling in LF seat when turning

[hosseface]

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.

Still working perfect to me.

Solved a major headache... or should I say butt ache.

I feel what I would describe as a Popping sensation in my drivers on my 2015 Tahoe. I notice it when making fast turns off of busy streets but not slow turns like residential. I have 4000 miles on it now and it started around 2500 miles and seems to be getting worse, not better like a break in. After 3 trips and numerous hours at the dealer to get the A/C problem I had fixed, metal shavings in the Freon, I just may opt for the hose clamp jerry rig fix.

Mine is getting progressively worse. I have tried PMing GM Customer Service with no response. Gonna try the dealer route but I have had the 4wd Service twice, water in taillights, and a door rattlings that have all been fixed in the first 90 days. Hope they don't think i am just a needy customer

Hose clamp fix still holding in there for me. Some people hate on "rigs" like that but I don't want the clowns at the dealer ripping my seat out.

Well,stupidly I tried the dealer route while it was in for something else. All it got me was a broken rear cover of the drivers seat, and the clunk is still there. They don't know how to fix it. It even makes them madder when you mention you learned something on the forums.

I did get a new dash board though as mine had a hole in it by the airbag the size of a finish nail hole. How it got out of the factory like that, I'll never understand but at least now you can hardly see the airbag border in the dash. They damaged the finish on the glove box and trim piece in between replacing the dash. Those are now new too.

I am wondering if the problem will eventually progress to the front passenger seat after time since we don't always have someone riding in it like the drivers seat.

there is a new seat shim kit bulletin that went out, at least according to my dealer. Should arrive in a few days then we will see.

Keep us posted. I will have to check into doing that to mine.

You guys will appreciate this. I had mine in for some recall stuff and a few other small issues and asked them to address the seat jiggle. So they had it for a significant amount of time and when I went to pick it up they were going over everything they did and didn't mention the seat. So I asked and was told the following .......

.... "it's supposed to do that. it's part of the new power seats."

Next stop hose clamp. Shoulda followed Hosse all along.

No surprise. As if I haven't said it enough, these fools are the dealer service departments are such idiots. (Beating a dead horse)

Had the Service Bulletin fix done to mine at the dealer and have to say it fixed the problem. Feels like a new ride.

 

[Rushgunner]

Do you happen to have the bulletin number for the fix?

My dealer was like huh??what?? Figures


Thx

 

[ssparks]

Don't notice in escalade but I'll definitely keep feeling for it

 

[Tylus]

I'm going to do the hose clamp fix. I don't trust my Dealership to do anything, and after reading their Yelp and BBB reviews, that's warranted.

How does crap like this get released on any vehicle. Be it $15k new or $50k like mine was. It's not like Chevy hasn't been making vehicles for 100yrs....oh

Picked up my truck after a week at the dealer. All seems good now.

Has anyone come up with the bulletin number for this fix?
I have had this issue since day 1 (almost a year). Finally thought I better get it fixed before I run out of warranty. Dealer says they can't find any reference to this being an issue.

 

[DaveG]

Hopefully this will help someone: I went to my dealer for an oil change and mentioned the seat shifting issue. They did the following:

13405675 RETAINER
13594989 F- RETAINER
12371287 LUBRICANT
Parts 23910 7080188 Lubricate Front seat pivot points, install literal retainer and install seat actuator shim clip.

So far seems to have fixed problem, but has only been a day. Will let you know if it holds up

1 year later and the hose clamp/hose fix is working like a charm.

Yeah I say it is a common issue among 2015 Yukon Denalis. Though it is not really a safety issue, I still find it quite annoying.

The bulletin is: PI1376.
