My drivers seat seems to have gained a wobble that i've noticed while driving and just when im sitting at a light. It's wobbling forwards/backwards... it almost seems like its a bit more on the backrest, but the bottom seat is also loose too. Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, the passenger seat seems to have a creak in it when someone heavier is in it.

I've got the wobble too. Might have to get John to take a look at it next time i'm in for my oil change.

I've had the creaking before too, it seemed to come from the seatbelt buckle. Had both front ones replaced. Driver side creaking is back again. =/

I have the same issue. It seemed to happen when the dealer changed out my seatbelt buckle. I'm not sure if it wasn't bolted down properly again or what though.

I had this problem too, but I just tightened down the 4 bolts again.

I've had this issue as well the dealer just needs to tighten the bolts for the seat bottoms

My seat rocks as well.. Haven't had the time to look at what exactly is loose.. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

Just the bottoms bolts? I'm assuming I can do this myself or is it something the dealer should

I would say grab a ratchet, and a flat screw driver, and gently pry off the plastics covering the bolts, and snug them up. Its not very difficult.

It's not going to be the bolts that hold the seat to the car...... Bolts between the frame and seat not frame and car.

NO wobble for me but a squeak, and it is sooooooo annoying. Super high pitched and all the time lol

I don't think my wobble can be fixed. I was looking at it yesterday and there doesn't seem to be any adjustable bolts at the points where it is moving. :/

I don't think this is my problem though. It seems to be moving from a different area.
