Default Problem with seats

I have a 2008 Range Rover Sport. Since new the front seats move on acceleration and when I stop. They have tried to fix the problem but it still exists. Any one know of a fix?

That is maybe the oddest thing I have ever heard. You mean it like slides forward and back when you press on the accelerator and brake pedal?

Take it back - you're under warranty. THAT is your fix.

It moves slightly. They had tried to fix multiple times.

That is very weird... do the motors engage or is it just loose? The motors on it might be bad or not locking properly when stopped. If it is still under warranty just keep complaining until they fix it

Take it back to your dealer -- who should give you a car to drive, and tell them you're not picking it up until it's resolved. That's the beauty of having a vehicle under warranty...

Well at least tell us what it was....that way if anyone else experiences it they have an idea of what to look for.

They have a fix to the bottom seat that they are making available. However, this was tried in a prior service visit and it did not fix the problem. They indicated that they put more torque in the drive shaft on the seat motor. This seems to have fixed the problem. If they did something else they did not share it with me.

The slight movement is back.
