Default Drivers Seat Issues - 2013 Luxury Model

I did a quick search and didn't come up anything, but if this has been discussed, please let me know. Ever since i purchased the car (April), I have noticed a "clicking" sound coming from the seat cushion underneath me and the seat cushion beneath me shifts/moves whenever I come to a complete stop. I finally took the car to the dealer last week, and of course, they claimed they could not replicate the issues after driving the car for 14 miles. as soon as I get into the car, i have the issues within the first 1/4 mile and i am beyond frustrated. As soon as i got home, i started playing with the seat cushion and was able to replicate the clicking sound. i have an appt to drop the car off tomorrow and hopefully this issue will get resolved, but i just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem or is mine an isolated incident?

I had this when stopping with my older 3rd Gen GS that was due to loose seat rails causing slight movement of seat on braking with click noise. It was duplicated and fixed.

I had this issue with my 2003 G35, and I've felt the same thing now with my GS.

Please let us know what you find out from your dealer.

Was it fixed or the seat replaced? I have the issue coming from 2 places (cushion on the right and cushion beneath me) and I can only duplicate the sound issue from the cushion on the right. The sound/movement of the cushion beneath me only occurs when the car comes to a stop.
