Ok here's a little update on this.
So I took it to the dealer and of course they said it's all tight and normal and I noticed the 2019 RX loaner I got has the same issue so that doesn't help. They want me to come back tomorrow and take a drive with the technician and we'll see. The thing is, if Lexus considers a rocking seat normal then their quality has really gone down hill big time. This is NOT good!
And as a side note, the 2019 RX quality is day and night different compared to the GS. It feels cheap.

My 2019 GS seems to have a slight play on the driver's seat, this is more noticeable during hard stops, there's a little rocking back and forth but just a little. Is this normal for the newer GS? I don't remember my 14 having this issue.
I had the same problem with my RC before but it was a lot worse and u can rock it by hand and dealer fixed it by replacing the seat tracks. I don't really want to tear apart a new car cause usually it comes back with more scratches.

My old CPO '16 GS 350 had this issue. The dealer wouldn't fix it since it's only a small amount of movement. The mechanic on the ride along denied it. I got rid of that vehicle for the '20 GS 350 F Sport. (It's fine on the '20)
It's worst during abrupt stop. It was the like seat rails doesn't latch. It's not only Toyota or Lexus, it was on my Honda Pilot before and the Honda dealer won't fix it. I complained to corp and the district manager authorized the repair then.
