Default passenger seat flops forward on stops

Does anyone hyave a solution to the passenger seat flopping forward on stops? Mine is doing it and it is embarassing --especially when it doesn't flop back.

My passenger seatback will move about 6 inches (at the top), but it doesn't flop forward. The only thing I can suggest is to tilt the back rearward as far as it will go.

The sport seat in my 98 does it. I lock the seat belt across it when "competing" and it stays put.

The seat back latch (released by the tab in the center top of the seatback) is stuck in the unlatched position. If it's under warranty, you need to get it fixed. It's also a safety hazard in an accident.
