Driver seat tilts back upon acceleration
I think this has been discused before but can't find it in a Search. I have a 07 1LT. My driver seat tilts back when I accelerate quickly. 5 year Warranty runs out in 3 months. Is this a simple fix or must I go to the dealership? Something tells me it's a plastic part in the seat rail.

Wow. That goes back to 2008. Managed to tighten the seat track bolts by a 1/16th of a turn. Will report back after the holiday. By reading this post, doesn't look good, back to the dealership. Worth the hassle to boost the re-sale.

Since you are out of your base warranty they will charge you to replace the seat track if it is more than a loose nut. Seat tracks are not cheap. It isn't too bad of a job to replace it your self and you may be able to get a used one or at the very least get one at a discount from one of the forum GM parts vendors.
