2019 C43 AMG Coupe
Headrest and Seat Moving By Itself Whilst Car Is In Motion

Hi everyone,

I have a 2019 C43 Coupe with around 20k miles and recently I had noticed my headrest would move up/down or forward/back on its own and initially thought it was just a seat memory thing. However, a couple days later, the seat ended up moving all the way back while operating the car on the highway at around 65 MPH and again on a city street at ~25 MPH.

Any ideas on what the issue could be electronically? I assume it's something I'd have to bring in. I made a concierge call and got a case number as a result. But before I get to that point, just checking to see if there is anything I could do at home or if anyone has encountered this sort of issue before.

Thank you!

This is why the saying “they don’t make them like they used to” exists.

There is still a "possibility" OP has a "secret/invisible" passenger in that seat.

Nonetheless, turns out this was all caused by a bad electrical switch and a bad sensor causing the drivers seat to move which Mercedes covered for free since they considered it a severe hazard.

thank you all!
