I have no issue with feeling the seat vibrators but I do notice that they are noisy when they activate. I drove an SRX for three years with the vibrators and with the SRX only the driver was aware of the motors activating to warn the driver. They were quiet which I think is the whole point. If you want a warning noise you can, but your passengers will ask "what is that" every time.

With my 2016 Yukon Denali the seat vibrators are noisy enough that the passengers ask "what is that"

Anyone else notice this. I get this with both motors so I suspect a design issue rather than a bad motor.

Mine are loud as well....are you noticing any separation of leather from the heating element in the area in between where the legs typically rest on the seat?

Mine were really noisy in my 2016 Tahoe as well, so I ended up turning them off.

I had a '15 that was fine. I now have a '16 (don't ask why... :O) ) - the '16 is very loud. Very loud. Obnoxious loud.

Any updates on these noisy haptic seat motors?
Has anyone been successful in getting a dealership to fix these?
