The drivers seat is loose and wobbles. I first noticed last Monday [XXX]. I keep my car clean & always do routine maintenance. This is a concern incase I get hit seat is already loose. I did research and see it-??s an issue for some. There are forums online. It does the same thing wobbles, something is loose near center console under the seat. I took it to the dealer they said my frame broke and it will be 1,200+ to fix-?? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I purchased this vehicle on 9/17/2017. Less than three weeks later, the left side of the seat back was deformed, causing back pain and discomfort. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they manipulated the cushions to get the seat back to a more comfortable shape, however it didn't look the same as when it was brand new. A couple of months after that the cushions became displaced again. There are two cushions forming the side bolster, and the side airbag is designed to deploy between the cushions. I have been unable to get the cushions back into place and don't live close to my dealership so it is inconvenient to take it back in. Now I have back pain in the area where the seat is deformed and pushing into my back. I am taking it to the dealer next week however I am afraid even if they replace the seat this problem will keep occurring. I haven't had the car long enough to be able to trade it in without taking a huge loss. I am also concerned with how the side airbag deployment could be effected.
