I hear rocking seats will be optional. GM has been listening to its buyers and knows that more and more older senior types are buying vettes. A rocker is a comfortable thing and soothes the soul or the aches and pains of an old body.
I plan on getting a 4LT rocker myself.

I thought mine may have been starting to as it moves a tiny bit forward when hard stopping and a tiny bit back when quick starting from a stop.
I had the dealer look at it and they said its ok. When looking at a new one it had the same small amount of play.
I guess I am just really sensitive, cause it really only moves less than 1mm play. The new car had about the same play. Mine has 23K.
They told me to keep an eye on it though and if it gets real loose or worse they can replace the seat track.

I recall some owners on this forum complaining about rocking seats a while back. There are a lot of carryover problems from the C5 to the C6 that will probably end up in the C7 as well. None of them are major problems just annoyances.

This is the first I have heard of the "rocking seat issue". Just what is the problem, as my seats move about one inch when I step on the brakes. Is there a TSB on this and what is then fix? Thanks and keep up the chat.

45,000 miles on my 2002 C5, and no rocking seat.
Only 4500 miles on my C6, and no rocking seat, so hoping it proves to be as durable as my C5.
I must have been dang lucky. 99% of the C5 complaints I've read about on this forum never happened with my car. Nor during the 37.000 miles I put on my first '97 C5. The 1% problem was the notorious leaky differential seals, but fixed the first time.
Fingers crossed my luck holds with this C6!

I had 50K on my 2002 when I traded her in, and I did not have the problem. I lurked here on the C6 side for a while prior to buying my 2007, and I never saw that issue mentioned. You can always do a search though.
