Within a few weeks of buying my new 2015 Tahoe I have started to feel the Lane Departure / Parking sensors pressing in to the back of my legs/rear, that are in the driver seat base.

Even with the sensors turned off, they protrude up in to the drivers back side. Differet driver weights and sizes tried and felt it.

I did not feel when I test drove cause I was wearing heavy jeans.

Major design flaw or defect, call it what you want.

Has anyone had success having this problem addressed?

Same regrets. My 2012 Tahoe seats are so much more comfortable. Took a three hour ride yesterday. Back was killing me after. When the weather warms up I'm bringing it into a custom auto upholstery shop that advertises they fix uncomfortable seats. I should have learned my lesson. Between my 2010 Tahoe and 2012 I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee that had seats as hard as a rock. Kept it for 6 months.

On a related note. Both vibration sensors quit. I got the service driver assist warning and dealer had my truck all day to replace them yesterday... See how long these last...
