Default A new annoyance

My drivers side seat has developed a very slight rocking. I don't really feel it as much as I hear it knock everytime I accellerate and brake.

The local dealer's service rep dude told me that he has had this complaint from other magnum owners and that it's not something they can fix. He says that the seat guide is worn and replacing the seat is the only fix for it. It's not anything that is loose or anything that can be tightened.

Has anyone else noticed this yet? I have got about 45,000 miles on my magnum. It just started this very recently.

Thank you in advance.

My advice to thers:

Complain about it (stress safety concern) BEFORE the 3 year/36 month b to b warranty expires...
