Anyone had a problem with drivers seat giving way

Driving along and felt a snap in the seat base and my backside dropped about 1 inch , when you get out of the seat its looks fine , press it with your fingers it seems ok , i note two supports run across top of seat under cloth,

tried out the passenger seat nice and firm all even , then back to drivers seat backside falling into a hole

anyone got any idea's, maybe back to dealer in morning it's only 3 weeks old

tried "pumping" the height adjuster on the right of the seat? Does it move it back up again?

It'll be the lumbar adjustment cable/setup, a known design fault with these seats. Get it back to the dealer for them to sort.

Doubt it -- the OP is talking about the seat base giving way, not the seat back.

At 3 weeks old, it's definately an immediate return to the dealer.
