Default Loose Driver's Seat?

Driver's seat moves a bit under braking - maybe 4mm or so. Dealer says 'they all do that.'

My passenger seat does not move, has anyone else had this problem successfully adressed? If so, what is the solution? Is my dealer lazy, stupid or both? Or maybe even correct?

Default Mine does that too though not that much. Dealer told me the seat frame needed to be replaced....

It was big several hundred dollars including labor so I decided I could live with the little annoyance.

I would get them to replace it for sure. If it moves 4mm now what will it move in 4yrs from now?
No car seat should be moving like that.My sister had Renault alliance 84 I think it was anyways her seat started to move and over time the seat totally came off. That is a serious safety issue.

Default Dealer replaced "worn" track guides

Front passenger seat used to rock back and forth, now it doesn't.

Driver seat would shift left and right (barely noticable)when I turned hard. Still does it a little.

I don't know how the the track became worn--it's not like I'm moving the seats back and forth everytime I get in.
