My 2009 Hummer SUT's easy exit seat recall doesn't work properly. The seat will go back but will not lower, recline, or do any other memory function. The chime will only chime once instead of twice w
I have read that there may be an issue with the seat motor control unit. Check with your dealer on a recall or tech bulletin. It may need to be reprogrammed to work properly.
Although this is for a 2004 it may carry over to the 2009 model:

This bulletin is being revised to update the correction information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-08-50-016B (Section 08 -- Body and Accessories).
Condition:
Some customers may comment that with repeated cycling of the memory seat between the 'exit' and one of the 'presets', the position of the seat may "creep" forward or rearward out of expected adjustment.
Cause:
There is a coding deficiency in the software for the memory seat module.
Correction:
Technicians are to reprogram the driver seat module with an updated software calibration. The previous bulletin stated to use a service calibration that was released with TIS satellite data update version 4.5. Feedback has proved that calibration to be ineffective in eliminating the memory seat creep condition. An updated service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 6.5 available June 13, 2005. This new calibration has additional memory seat creep protection. As always, make sure your Tech 2® is updated with the latest software version.
Important: After programming is complete, move the seat all the way rearward and down, then bump the seat slightly forward and up. This position will be just off the end of travel hard stops. Reset both memory seat exit positions at this position. Having the seat set at just off the hard stops will aid in reducing the creep condition.
