Yeah

The back plastic portion of the drivers seat on the upper right side broke. probably leaning over to get something out of the back. Dealer claimed that the seat had been abused. like someone hit it or something.

Stopped by the service dept. today. They were quick to evaluate and gave me no problems. He made it sound as if I wasn't the first person to have this problem. The upper part of the seat will be here in about two weeks.

The clip on the side of the seat that holds the material always comes off...that's been happening from day 1 though. Just recently, I've been hearing a funny squeaking sound from the rails. Maybe something just needs to be tightened or oiled.

kimmievo,

From my post above:

I had the same problem with the side of my driver's seat coming undone. There's an easy fix for this. The next time it comes off, you should hammer the metal tab underneath before sliding it back in. This will make it a lot tighter and will hold the plastic rail in place. I've never had a problem since.

I'd love for my seat to break. I could actually take it back to them and they would have to fix it because the "ummm you have performance modifacations on this car we can't cover it" story won't work. LOL!

Mine are fine. I had the same flap of fabric problem but one snap inwards and it never bothered me again.
