The drivers seat movement has been covered elsewhere in the forum. There is a technical buliten about this, It needs a new mounting and the seat needs to be taken to bits to fit this. Hopefully they will fix the reclining for the seat again when they take it to bits as the seat will not go upright fully.

This has been covered in another post. My seat moved slightly forward and backwards when accelerating and braking and this is a known problem with 'some' FL2's. Dealer will know if yours should be affected - I was told mine shouldnt have had the problem due to when it was built (Mar08) but when they checked they decided I needed a complete new seat! New seat was fitted early Feb and at first was fine but a month down the line I think it is also beginning to move slightly, although its the back rather than the base that seems to move (unlike before where it was the entire seat) - dealer checked and said it was fine but to come back if I am still not happy. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Hi guys. I seem to have gained the loose seat problem since having my seat base replaced due to the mechanism going creaky.

i would suggest you contact LR Customer Services yourself and state your feelings to them and see how you get on, stating that the dealers have told you they have changed seats in the past.

Hi - many thanks for the response. I wrote a letter to LR Customer Services about 6 months ago - it was ignored. I follwed this by leaving a letter on the customer serrvices voicemail but never had a reply. A few weeks later i wrote and posted a other letter to LR Customer Services saying i was disgusted etc - absolutely no response whatsoever. Impressive! |
