Anyone Ever Have Seat Problems

at 4k miles my seat rocked back and fourth like it was off the track. I would feel it when i stopped and accelorated it was like the seat would pivot front to back... it got to the point where it wasnt driveable..... i brought it to the dealer they had to order a whole seat kit track and all...... now at 6k miles. the seat doesnt rock but it feels like that there is like a dip in the left side of theseat.. it feels like i a on a left tilt. Also the plastic in the lower left seems loose.
I am a big kid Quite heavy..... and i also drive hard and the area i am in forces me to turn freequently....

Anyone ever have a problem like this?
Anyone wanna comment on that left thing?

Rocking Seat

I had the same issues on my 01 C320. Replaced seat frame, but every now and then it will snap and rock slightly. I'm 195 lbs and have heard that this is a known issue.

My seat rock forward a little when I brake and rock back when I accelerate. I feel like the lock in the track is not tight.
