drivers seat loose?
Every time I give it gas from a standing position the drivers seat moves or should I say lifts back like 1/4 inch not a sliding back but like its gonna tip over.Like the bolts that hold it down are loose...I have looked at them and they are tight? What else should I look for. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Thanks

wasnt very informative but i found the post take a look for your self
For members with 1 month before your warranty expiring, have your dealer do some fine combing throughout the car. My dealer did check the airmatics and said that the relays were ready to go out and just replaced them (relays) before the airmatics can have a total failure. They also replaced my radio amp, fixed my ac and replaced the driver's seat bolts/screws (b/c seat was loose and I'm no 200 pound guy either

Mine also does this pretty consistently. I'm guessing a bolt hole or rail gets ovaled out and causes the rocking. I'll be getting a hold of my dealership to check on this TSB.
