I bought brand new 2014 Outlander GT on September, 2014. Almost immediately I found that my seat is moving back and forth few inches (the driver's seat is electric). Couple days I tried different settings but w/o any luck. Moving has got worst and seat started even rotating a couple degrees around back right connection point. So, I went back to the dealership and they replaced immediately my seat with new one and give a warning that I should expect small movements because of the seat design.
With new seat the problem was somewhat fixed - I do not have huge back and forth movement anymore. However, the small shacking still occur and give hard time to my back when I drive. A week ago I took my car for first regular service and filled complaint about this problem. I asked and tested few new cars with the same seat types and found out that all of them had the same issue. Again, I was told that this is Mitsubishi Design and nobody can fix it but them.
Hope the manufacturer will fix this problem soon.

Took the car into the dealer and told them that the driver seat has play in it around a 3 inches or so, just moving forward and back no side to side, the remedy was to replace the track under the seat, took them 2 days to do so because they could not get the electronics to work come to find out they just forgot to plug them in. The seat has been fine, I am up to 59000 miles now with no issues with the seat.
