DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FEELS LOOSE. UPON STARTING AND STOPPING, THE SEAT "ROCKS" FORWARD AND BACKWARD AND SEEMS TO FEEL UNSTURDY. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPT. ATTENTION ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THEIR RESPONSE WAS, " WE'VE DONE ALL WE CAN, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!" WHAT THEY DID DO, ( I ASSUME) IS TIGHTEN THE VARIOUS NUTS AND BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SEAT TO THE CHASSIS. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I PHONED THE JAGUAR CUSTOMER COMPLAINT DEPT., AND ADVISED THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME AN AREA REP WILL CONTACT ME. AFTER MANY CALLS, I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM ANYBODY. PLEASE HELP ME SINCE I AM CONCERNED A LOOSE SEAT POSES A REAL HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
