The above seat seems to be in a lot of GM Vehicles around the 2013 era.

That Holmart part… I’d have thought the arms that support the seat back would be parallel or both angled inwards a little. It looks like one is angled inwards while the other is angled outwards so something looks bent in those seat pictures

Maybe why thats why the Holmart part is $500 as compared to what the dealer charged. Maybe the Holmart part can be straightened using a hammer so it’s not any issue… Who knows…

All irrelevant as your car is fixed but thought I’d just mention it as see if anyone else sees the base as bent…

MY17 Calais V LS3 with ongoing engine shaking problem. Much time wasted with two dealerships and Holden. Engine mounts, harmonic balancer, rocker cover gaskets replaced around 38,000km. Engine failed and apparently seized at 54,000km. Also had intermittent high fuel consumption issues which had resolved in time for the engine to fail.

I have nothing but contempt for this POS and its manufacturer.

So was the root cause of the engine vibrations, high consumption and ultimately failure ever identified? How was this ultimately fixed? Was a new engine installed under warranty?

Details, we need details
