driver seat problems due to being too heavy...

just wanted to know if anyone out there is having the same issues as me. im a bigger guy, about 250 pounds and i sit with my seat as low as possible. while braking semi hard, i can feel a click under the seat as if uts sliding forward like 1/8 of an inch, not a huge deal but just slightly annoying. ive also had the side of the bottom of the seat where the lumbar support control is start to slowly inch its way away from the car seat, fixed once under warranty but no longer under warranty.

Seat popping noise

i have the same motion and a popping noise. Tonight I raised the seat to it's highest setting and noticed that the threaded rod on the left side, there is one on each side, has very worn threads as if something that the rod slides or screws into is not tightened. Can anyone help?
