Default Seat Height problems???

Recently (past month) my seat height adjustment keeps failing. I tend to keep it as high as it goes, for comfort levels, but I find myself readjusting it quite often (nearly every day).

Anybody else see this?

I plan to take to the dealership for warranty work, just curious on how many others see this.

I keep mine down all the way for comfort reasons. My wife pumps it up when she drives it but it never stays there long enough to find out if it drops over time, I just pump it back down.

To add to the frustration, I used to be able to raise it back up while sitting in it, but now I can't. I know I'm opening myself up for jokes on that, but I'm not that overweight!

And all this time I thought my butt was getting smaller... Now you're telling me that it's just the seat lowering???


Yea, i was going to post on this a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure if my seat was sinking or if I was just imagining things...

Yup,mine too.i thought I was losing my mind.Every few days or so I have to raise it as I like it all the way up.After raising it several times,the handle sorta broke.It`s now stuck at about 11:00 instead of being parallel to the floor.I just attributed it to my big ass as I`ve been hitting Sonic a lot lately

I wonder if someone makes a seat lift kit.Of course then we`d have to worry about the damned ESP activating here too
