Something in my seat back!
 
When I make turns at slow speeds, I can feel and hear a kinda clunk in my seat back, like something's loose in there. Like my seat back is hollow and the is an object the is moving around Anybody else getting this?

Hmmm, haven't gotten that but I will say our seats feel pretty hollow

When I press my head back on the headrest, the stems poke me in the back lol...

Maybe something smuggled over from Japan, carefully stuffed into the seat during production. :D

It's a safety feature. :rolleyes:

Funny, not the first person to notice it.

I build seats.

could be a number of things. honestly, except for options like lumbar, heat etc. there aint much in a seat but foam, frame and airbags. foam wouldnt make that noise, and the other two, i wouldn't want faulty in my seat in case of accident. problem is. aint much repairing seat. just replacing them.

of course could just be a leprechaun.

Also could be a loose nut behind the wheel.:bowrofl:

Pushing my head back on the seat and getting poked by the poles in the seat was the only entertainment I had from NY to VA while my gf was sleeping, which was most of the time.

It could be a tool left in there by the shop floor guy. It could be his watch -- or his severed finger -- just like forceps left behind after one's hernia operation.

haha that freaked me out too when I first got my car. I always push the back of my head into my seat for some reason and then this piece starts poking me lol

Do you have the cloth seats? If so there is a tsb on the seats. My driver seat would pop or cloick a little whem I went around corners.

Yes, my seats are cloth. What did the tsb state?

Mine did that too. I had the dealer take care of it. The TSB is for the bolts in the rear of the seat, they replace those. Haven't had the problem since they took care it

I found the tsb and to be honest, the description of the problem doesnt quite sound like the issue I am having :( My seat is not moving at all or clicking, just feels like something within the seat back is moving around. Thanks tho!! I will investigate it further!
