Anyone having a problem with their driver seat moving around with aggressive driving?

kevr6 · 03-13-2009, 08:41 AM

I had one of my techs help me look at it and it looks like there is a problem with the seat frame. Everything that can be tightened is tight, but there seems to be movement inside the track at the foot (right front). I let them know that but all they said was they tightened it!! I know that couldn't have happened since we already did that. I think the seat frame needs replacing or there is a shim missing at the foot! Just curious if anyone else is having a problem!

BTW: The passenger seat doesn't budge at all!!

Thanks!!

i have this problem, i thought i may be a little pickey. its like one side pops out if i push front to back hard it will snap or pop tnto place. im disappointed to say i just got my 2010 370z out of dealership.2.218 miles transmission started making a winding sound. they replaced transmission. the new one has a slight sound but nothing like before. i hope it will be ok.i will be taking back to shop over seat. if i find anything out ill post it.....rw

What model you guys have? Base or Touring? Because the seats are different and I'm wondering if it's specific to one seat vs. the other.

My interior would be "Base" since all I wanted was the Sport Package!! I will say that the seat frame is pretty cheap looking compared to the '08 TT I traded in...of course that had Napa Leather power seats!
I'll be bringing it back since I only have 900 miles on the clock!

I have Touring. So depending on what zZZzzZZZZZZ has, perhaps we've stumbled upon a problem with the seats in the Base model?

Base is not suede; it has a non-slip grippy frabric, which looks pretty nice for cloth.

Sport/Touring and no problems.

I too have this problem. I have the base model with sport package. It happens when you make a quick left then right turn or vice versa. Annoying, but I shouldn't complain since I have done nothing to address the issue.
