1 Front Seat Power Adjust problem of the 2014 GMC Sierra

Failure Date: 10/02/2013

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra slt with power seats. The driver's seat is loose (not the same issue that was recently recalled with manually reclining seats). When you make a sharp turn at speed the drivers seat slides left or right depending on the direction you are turning. There are numerous complaints identical to this one on the forums online and gm claims they have no solution and to speak with the local dealer. My local dealer does not now know what to do and says they cannot fix it. This is a very dangerous situation and could cause an accident! please have gm fix it or issue a recall!.

5 Front Seat Power Adjust problem of the 2004 GMC Sierra

The personnel setting system that you can program your seat position and other functions in has failed on numerous occasions. This causes the seat to shove you into the daschboard or all the way back to the furthest position. I asked gm to fix this and I was given by the service manager at o'connor GMC augusta,maine the print out of a bulletin that states that it is a software problem and there is "no fix available at this time" and it states the technician should do nothing to try to fix this. It is bulletin #04-08-50-016 dated 8/19/04.

6 Front Seat Power Adjust problem of the 1999 GMC Sierra

Failure Date: 08/13/2003

While approaching a stop sign at approximately 20 mph, the driver side seat adjustment broke free and the seat slid forward. Because of the anchorage of the seat belt being the seat itself, nothing held me back from contact with the steering wheel. Fortunately this happened at a low rate of speed. I am in the process of seeking reimbursement for repair cost in the amount of $513. 11 from gm who would not cover the repair because the vehicle is out of warranty.

7 Front Seat Power Adjust problem of the 1996 GMC Sierra
