"Thunk" from the driver's seat.

Hi -

2010 Sport AT here.

Sometimes when I either corner or stop a little hard, I feel something in the driver's seat giving me what almost feels like someone in the back is kicking me in the lower back. It's almost as if there's some inside the seat shifting around and occasionally it "thunks". My not-wide wife says she feels it, too.

There's nothing looose under the seat, and as best I can tell the seat rail hardware is tight.

I'm going to have the dealer check it out eventually, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this, and especially if anyone know what the cause and/or solution might be.

Thanks -

Dan

I've got the same problem. Even the front passenger seat in my 2010 Sport AT will do it if someone's seated there. It is my main pet peeve with the car, which I love otherwise. My thought was also eventually making the dealer check it out, as no amount of adjusting the seat makes it go away.

p.s. I'd edit "wide" to "wife" before she sees the post and thinks you're making a Freudian slip about the size of her ass... (heh-heh)

did a search, looks like a common problem and the solution has been found... I'll test it out and report back...

I had this. Just check the bolts for the seat rails.

Been slight issues with seat rail bolts. Book says they should be torqued to 25ft/lbs. Might want to check em. Plastic covers pry/pop off.

The manual says there is a limit to what the seats will bear.

Page 35. Look it up.
