    My driver seat is slightly loose, enough to notice it "toggle" back when I accelerate from stop. The dealer acknowledges it's a defect, has ordered a new seat (lead time totally unknown). He was honest in telling me he has seen this before and the new seat may or may not have the same problem. I'm concerned that the problem seems to be getting worse, and the timing for a new seat is "at least" a few months or more. Add to that the new seat may not be better.

    Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

    Exact same issue...very annoying. At least your dealer admits there's a problem. Mine has looked at it twice and says it's 'normal'.

    I remember seeing some past posts about seat rail issues, similar to what you describe. Thought they replaced the rails vs the entire seat. There were a few with the issue and dealers took care of it. Hopefully the wait on parts will be minimal.

    Was about to say I've got 11k miles on mine and that I'm a big guy who's experienced no issues with the seat....

    then I saw...
