Drivers seat moves
Here something I've been meaning to look into. I have the "easy entry" option turned off, but whenever I get into the car, I have to move the seat forward about half an inch, or so I don't feel the seat moving back, when I get out of the car, but whenever I go to get back into it, the seat has moved backward.
Anybody have any suggestions as to what I should check??

Is the seat lower cushion bolster worn out? I had a car that the seat moved because the collapsed bolster would allow my A++ to push on the seat switch getting out. Is the seat side switch bezel broken or loose? If so, the switch could be depressed as you exit the car.

I have the same problem. Mine doesn’t do it all the time, like once a week or so (daily driver). I’ve set the memory seat several times, and no improvement.
sometimes it seems related to how the door is locked or unlocked, by the door switch or key fob. I haven’t been able to repeat the issue on demand.
also, not sure if it’s moving when the door locks, or is unlocked. I try to remember to watch it when I lock/unlock, but I’ll forget, and that’s when it happens.
its quite maddening!

This. When you unlock the car using the fob, the seat moves to the memory position associated with that fob. It probably happens before you even open the door, so you don't notice. If you're always using fob #1, for example, make sure to save the seat position for memory 1.
