Drivers seat issue
My drivers seat feels like it moves slightly after applying the brakes and then back on the gas like when you almost come to a full stop. I haven't found anything about this on the forum but was wondering if any of you have had a similar problem. The car is CPO with 22k and new to me so I can't say how long it's been happening. I feel like I remember a similar problem and TSB with the 2 gen IS but I'm not sure. I'm just trying to get some info before taking it to the devil I mean dealer.

I have a 2013 GS 350 Base who has an issue with the driver's seat. The railing in the back of the driver's seat is making a clanking noise when the seat moves. Also there is a broken piece of plastic at the end of the rails right below the back of the driver's seat. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

I have a busted plastic panel under the passenger seat, facing the floor mats. It's exposing wiring and cushion parts. Not noteworthy for a $60k car. I'm getting it addressed under warranty soon.

they did not give me the TSB number, but if you have any issues take it to them and have it fixed, they probably wont give it to me either, I ripped them a new *** when I picked up my car, the smart tech left my headlight cap open , and thank God I checked it before I washed the car , or else I would had damaged the headlight.

call the dealer the have a recall on it , what they do they change the seat bracket, its under warranty, mine they said they are missing parts so they cant finish it, so i told him screw it leave it alone, when I trade the car in that becomes ur problem.

I've been dealing with this issue since I picked up my GS 4 months ago. I took it into the dealer a month ago and they told me the seat is fine and that all the gs do it. I know for a fact not all GS350's do it. When coming to a slightly harder then normal stop my seat makes a noise and I can feel it move slightly. Then when accelerating again I hear a click, like it was to lock in place again. I'm glad y'all brought this thread back to life and that I'm not the only one with this issue. The dealership sure made it seem like I was though.

If anyone who's had this issue corrected can post the TSB number then that would be helpful.

I just had my drivers seat in for warranty work a few weeks ago and I'm glad to say that my issue is gone. I was feeling movement in the seat if I applied the brake abruptly and let off. Turns out, the tracks were worn out. The dealer replaced the seat tracks and the seat is now super solid.
The tech tried to say nothing is wrong at first but then I had them follow me to the brand new GS350 F Sport and shake the seat, no movement. Mine was moving like crazy.
