Lately I've noticed what feels like something is broken in my drivers seat. I feel it most when going over speed bumps, but really almost any bump will cause it. Best way I can describe it is that it feels like there is a broken piece of plastic that keeps flipping against itself.

Anyone else feel this in their seats?

No but I do notice the seat on my 2017 Sport rocks back and forth a bit. Bolts are tight so must be in the frame someplace. Dealer had a look but big surprise could not replicate the issue :)

Hi Toolman,

I certainly understand why this would be concerning. If you are not able to determine a solution based on suggestions here and you decide to address this with your dealer, please let us know. We are more than happy to provide you with an additional layer of support for that process.

Same here on my 2015 Outdoorsman. I feel it when I accelerate.

samsies

looking at what parts you can get for the seat it will require a whole new rail system. I looked under mine while rocking it back and forth and can see the entire seat moving with the upper part of the rail only.

ordered mine, hopefully no upholstery stuff or anything else is needed

Will re post after should fix the issue .... for now

I was fortunate enough to get this in before warranty expired. They had to replace the seat bracket, which includes the motors. It would have cost me $890!

It scares me that
A) it cost that much
B) it already broke before warranty expired, so how long will this one last?
