Hey that's me.  Ok, to recap, last year shortly after I brought my car I
started having problems with the seat.  When I would turn, stop, and go the
seat would tilt.  I complained to the dealer of these problems.  Every time
they would tighten a bolt under the seat and tell me it was fixed.  After
2 - 3 days the seat would start tilting again.  After the third time at the
dealer I decided to bring my complaints up a notch (you know "I want to talk
to your manager's manager").  Also when I got the follow-up call I gave it
to them as well.  The dealer called me up shortly after the third visit and
told me to bring in the car for a VW rep to take a look at the seat.  When I
brought the car in I told the rep my story as we went out for a test drive
(he was driving).  He felt the problem right away and he promised me that he
would have the problem fixed and apologized for the run around that I had
went through.  To make a long story short, they kept the car for a few days
and put in a new seat frame, which took care of the problem.  Oh. BTW I do
not recall anyone requesting I post a follow-up to the seat problem.  If I
recall correctly there was little interest at the time because of a thread
going on about scanners and radar detectors.  If anyone needs additional
info please email me and I'll be happy to full you in on the details.

Thanks
Franklin

I've been trying to get more info on this problem for months. My '98 with
leather seats has had loose seats ever since the car was new, so nothing is
worn out or fallen out of place or has loose bolts. I think its just damn
sloppy quality control. Mine clunks whenever I start or stop or go around a
corner. Last fall, some guy on the list, Franklin Mosley, said VWOA was
going to replace his seat runners, but I never could get any more
information out of him. It's almost like VWOA told him they'd replace his,
but not to tell anyone else. I'd love to hear anyone else's experience with
this problem. It's a real pain! Make's your car feel like its getting ready
to fall apart.
