A6,
I've gotten the easy exit to work with steering column receeding and the tilted seat to go down in the front so that the bottom of the seat is all the way down and level (if that makes any sense). I can't however, get the seat to move (using the easy exit)backwards, even an inch. Nowhere close to the bulkhead.

Has anyone been able to get their seat to move back??

The only fix I can see is to manually disable the sensors so if anyone can aquire some documentation as to the exact locations.....

 

The current programmed operation of the memory seat recall on manual transmission C7s is idiotic. No fix for this model year? That's idiotic as well. IT'S A NONUSABLE FEATURE! FIX IT!

Not JMHO. Read the friggin' posts all over this forum about it. GM, get it fixed!

I have a 2014 M7 car. Mine works as follows:
When I turn off the car and open the door the seat moves back and the wheel moves up. When I return and open the door the seat moves back to the driving position before I get in. I do not need to hold any buttons on exit or entrance. Hope that this helps.

 

That's how all the M7 cars work if the memory seat recall option is selected ON. But why in the world would a driver have the seat move to the driving position BEFORE entry. Again, idiotic. And then to have to hold the button to move the seat instead of a single button press?

This may be how GM designed it, but it's AFU.

 

Why does not make sense. Whole point is ease of access exit and entry. If seat most up before get in what is the point. You have to manually move it back to even get in. Than get it back to memory place ?...

Exactamundo!!!

 

how tall are you? I'm guessing that if you moved the seat all the way back, you would have to reset if possible. I'm happy for you that yours works as intended.

 

Sharon has been absolutely great. Elizabeth was pretty good but I am happy with the new communication.

I will be working with the dealership to get the vehicle repaired and if they are not able to get it fixed properly they have offered a vehicle buy back and repurchase.

I want to try fixing it because a replacement car doesn't guarantee a new car without issue and because it will take months to be built again.

Much better so far. I will keep people updated. The service manager for the dealership's Cadillac branch is working on the issue with me now.

Fingers crossed I can get my vehicle repaired to where it should be.

 

What are you trying to get repaired, I'm assuming the seat memory recall/easy exit issue? if it is and they are offering a replacement vehicle???!!! can't be right.

There is no "problem" as far as GM goes. Dealship does whatever GM says. ergo...we get saddled with a Perversely stupid engineered seat memory/recall design.

Basically what I'm saying is there's alot of talking going on, and communication is a good thing, we've all found out that we're stuck with this problem to handle/fix on our own. However, that's ALL that's going on, not one issue has been repaired/fixed (to my knowledge). There are some guys that are following instructions and somehow not hitting the pressure sensors that erase all memory and are happy. That's awesome for them.

I feel like the rest of us..... Dealership didn't come off price, i didn't ask. but ...ahem.....I DO EXPECT TO GET WHAT I PAY FOR. $70k....really????

if your problem was in fact repaired or gave you a new vehicle, I want the name of your dealer. the only problem with getting another car is that you will have exact same issues.


I will take seat out this weekend and do some recon to see how "memory stop" can be eliminated.

 

He's not talking about the seat issue. If read through the thread (yes, I know, it's a daunting challenge), you will see all the problems he has been having with his vette and his dealer.

 

And that is the problem, the seat moves to driving position before you get in. That defeats the purpose of easy exit and entry. Need the seat to stay in Exit position until after I get in. A first year programer should be able to easily fix this.



This needs to be fixed. Make it move forward after you close the door, not when you open the door.

This is not a Dealer issue, and I will not ding the dealer on it. However if and when I get a JD powers survey I sure will ding Chevy on it. Its a simple fix. If I had the software I could program it in ten minutes or less. I write far more complex machine automation code than this. This is an entry level programer fix.

 

oh man....WildVetts I am so terribly sorry. I do hope you get car fixed. Really very sorry.

 

it's late, I'm tired so this may not make sense so i ask ya'lls forgiveness in advance.

First of all I agree thats even more stupid than the limit switches erasing memory. but what if you program your easy exit to be your driving setting and vice versa, wouldn't that work?? aahh.....ummm. nah i don't think it would....sorry jsut a thought.

my problem is mainly the easy exit not working. the drivers settings work perfectly. so I've resolved to just get used to manually lowering and backing up seat upon exit. one thing that would be a big help is if they would have left the up/down manual lever adjustable like C6, that way it would save a couple of seconds. to me it's just another motor/electrical components to go bad.....


but in the end fellows (and girls) we are the unique owners of the finest supersports car in the world!!!!! I love mine... thats just my $.02

later guys

On the seat memory issue, I’m resolved; ”it is what it is!” (At least with my car, which apparently is working as intended.)
After trying a number of things last week, some combinations I had not tried since I have had the car 1st week in October, I was able to duplicate the one problem reported which was to have the seat return to the drive position when you open the door! Never had that before! Did that with the Auto Recall set to ON.
Made a matrix and tired all combinations and currently have Auto Recall OFF and Easy Exit On. Works but requires the button to stay pushed until everything returns. I also tried putting my standard transmission in reverse since folks with automatics need to have it in Park and apparently they have a 1 touch operation with the car off. Made no difference.
As Marissa has validated thru her resources, it is working as was designed when the car is not started 1st (and not like the C6, for whatever reason.)
Marissa has been very helpful on a number of issues. However mine are all minor and I have workarounds (like with many of my computer programs) that work for me. No need to shoot the messenger, thanks Marissa!
By the way here are my workarounds to these minor issues to a great car:
Hatch Doesn’t Close Without Door Being Open: Just close a door after you close the hatch. Just requires some thought about how to enter and leave the car.
Seat Return Requires Holding in Button (Std Trans): Use one finger to hold button, while other hand pulls seat belt to buckle.
Wheel Chatter: When tires are cold don’t turn the wheel to full lock. Unlike many forum comments I believe the issues that cause the problem are in this order, 1) Tire design/compound especially with Z51 (folks who put on all –season tires say the issue is eliminated or reduced) 2nd) C7 has 2 foot tighter turning radius than C6, 3rd) Amount of Ackerman steering built in. All these features are designed so you can brag to your friends about how the car can achieve 1.08 g’s with the same tire size as my ’08 Z51 C6! I don’t track the car but works for me on a commonly used 270 degree exit ramp! If you want a 4 page picture illustration of why these “Chatter” issues exist to get high corning force - so your friends don’t laugh if you forget not to turn too tight when the tires are cold- see netwelding.com/Reports_Vette_Info.htm

 

Has anyone installed this. I cannot get the left tab to go under the rear carpet floor. The instructions are poor. Any have any suggestions! Thanks JJJ

 

Mine went in fairly easily. Try putting the left side in first.

 

I tried that but it seems to hit something. Is you right tab right next to the speaker on the back panel

 

5' 10"

 

that may be why you're having success. I'm a little taller and want the seat as far back as possible or else my feet hit and mark up plastic.

however i have been playing around with the system and found out that the driver settings work perfectly, nothing wrong and the easy exit will work as well, but it will NOT, i repeat NOT make any horizontal travel back! I can raise and retract steering wheel and tilt seat forward but that's it. I then simply reach down and i a split second bring seat back a couple of inches. tada.... I'll admit it's not a perfect system, but I can live with it.

One thing my dealer did was press and hold the easy button when it didn't work as planned and it did then work, i haven't been able to duplicate.
