Default Driver's seat learches forward on stops, does this happen to you? (more)

Spoke to AOA today after I got back from the dealer last week. Dealer said the seat was within factory specs. It moves forward on firm stops. AOA said they have no other reports of this. Is it happening to you?????

Thanks.

PS My dealer also left a soda bottle on the passenger seat and did fix something they said they did.

Default YES! This happens to many people on this forum.

I've read of at least 2 dozen complaints on this forum about it...

It's always the same when you go to the dealer.
"it's within spec"

So I ask, show me the spec, ahhhhhh, we'll you know, we can't do anything about it, it's how the seat is designed. So I say, Audi designed a seat that "thunks" when you accelerate and brake? Yes! is the answer...

*grrr* says I. and leave not feeling happy...

Default Yup Carrera said it's "within specs" also. If I put a 200 lb. lead weight on wheels in my trunk...

would that be "within specs" too? Thats just lame..I'm sure the weight shift makes a difference in acceleration...

Default How dare you complain about this trivial problem! Any more of this snivelling,

whimpering, and whining and the AOA Grand Poobah of Purchaser Protocol will pull your S4 membership card and banish you to eternity in a rusty Subaru Justy.

P.S. I haven't had the problem in my car. It must be all your fault. Stop abusing those buttons by pressing them so hard.
