09 GT Driver's seat frame replaced second time!

Okay gents I tip the scales around 250 but I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem. The dealership where I bought it got it done (driver's seat frame replacement) at 38K becuase I made enough noise about the fact that something just didn't feel right in my seat. It felt like the seat wasn't properly locked in when either slowing down or taking off from a light. The first time this same problem happened, it was two months after I took delivery and at that time they fixed it without much fanfare. This time around the service manager there said he was confident that was the LAST time GM would address this issue for me. Not real comforting over what appears to be a design flaw in whomever NUMMI contracted to make the seats on this vehicle.

"Had this happen before. Just had to make sure it was locked in before taking off. Never broke anything."Trust me-this is what I hoped the problem was. The way I was actually able to convince them there was a problem is that I could stand outside the vehicle. open the driver's door, lean over and push downward on the lower cushion and you could hear a noise and feel the play. Passenger side-not the same. A 2010 used (non GT) Vibe on the lot, opened it up with the Service Manager and tried that little test and it wouldn't duplicate. I just REALLY hope I had a fluke with 2 bad seat frames, especially when I'm the only one here reporting it.

Maybe its the rails on the floor and not the seat? I have no idea.. Does it do it at any position or just a certain one? I just know that my car is picky on locking. One side locks at a time.. where my other car just locked at the same. I really have to make sure, rock back and forth, to see if they are locked in place..

No I just thought I'd re-post here to see if I get any more responses.
