Passanger seat vibrates

My passanger seat started vibrataing at all speeds when no one is sitting in it. Went to the dealer and they said the track was damaged and now they replaced the track and the seat still vibrates but not as much.

My question is does anybodies passanger fron seat have a vibration to it when you are driving and no one is seated in it?

Also this does not happen when someone is sitting in it, only when seat is empty.

The vibration does not change depending on speed, it is pretty much consitant as long as the car is moving.

My thought is he vibration is coming from the tire or suspension, but I had it all checked by the dealership and they found nothing.

Thanks for the help

My seat vibrates all the time so I just deal with it. It doesn't make a sound so it doesn't bother me.

You might have a rough idle speed and it transfers vibrations to the seat. Does it vibrate when the car is at standstill or only when moving? Seat vibrations are a common problem with these cars.

Yeah, if it's not making noise, I wouldn't worry about the seat.

Try adjusting...

the seat to its extremes before you drive to see if you can find a position where it doesn't vibrate when empty. Store the location in memory so it's easy to get back too when you're alone in the car again.

I think it has to due with your tires. The tires could be cupped and that creates a small vibraiton.

I tried to refrain from posting a similar comment.

Whenever it vibrates, was the last person who sat in the seat a woman?

I love this forum.
