The passenger side seat starting moving when sitting on it 5 months after car with purchased brand new-- the dealer fixed the problem-- entire component underneath seat was replaced. 11 months later same problem-- dealer fixed again at no charge-- then 2 years later after warranty ran out it happened again-- its slides slightly when braking. I have not had the money to try to fix the problem again-- I know the dealer will charge me now since it is out of warranty a long time ago.
