Default 2013 F Sport Driver's Seat "pops"

Just about every time I adjust the driver's seatback from back (rear) to front, then hit the brakes, I feel the seat sort of pop a little, almost like the gears in the adjustment motor for the seatback isn't holding as it should. If I don't adjust the seat, it stays in place, no noise, it just seems to happen when I adjust it. I don't adjust the seat a lot since I am the primary driver, but it seems a little odd. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience? I will mention it to the dealer at the next maintenance appointment, no big deal at all really, just a little annoying.

There was a TSB on 2013 models. I took mine in for a driver's seat that moved around and was told there was a TSB on some 2013 models. On mine, they replaced the driver's seat rails and that fixed the problem.

I had the same problem. Took it in to one dealership and they told me it was "normal" and that there was not movement in the seat. So I took it to another dealership and they replaced the rails under warranty. Second dealership said that its not "normal" for the seat to pop like that. It did take them over 2 weeks for someone from the warranty team and come out to verify the popping sound because they couldn't hear it through the sample that was submitted to them.
