Is it actually sliding or more like rocking?

If I need to move my seat foreword to throw something in the back seat. Then reposition the drivers seat, get in and sit down. I can hear and feel the seat track lock in position. Then when I drive off, I can feel the seat "rack" a little, and I can feel and hear the inboard track move a little and then lock into position.
If I do the same thing, but rock foreword and backward a little before driving off, I can hear the locking mechanism engaging and everything is tight with no movement.
I figure it's simply both seat tracks locking in place.
Sound like what you're experiencing?
Hmmmmm.... Let's see,,,, "Seat track strut brace"...... I wonder????? .....

same prob here
I am also having the same thing. I figured it was just because of the law of physics. Since my fat rear is belted to the seat, the seat wants to keep moving while I am breaking......
It feels like the left side of the seat rail slipping forward and back under breaking.
One of these days I will pull the seat to see what is going on. -

This would certainly unnerve me. Most seats flex a bit -- esp. the backs -- depending on weight attached to them and forces exerted by the car, but there shouldn't be noticeable movement along the rails unless you're actively pulling the release or immediately afterward as the seat settles into the spot you chose. I put this in the "something's wrong" category and it seems to me if something has loosened there's every reason to expect the process to continue. If something under stress is in the process of coming apart you know it's most likely to let loose when you most need it intact. I'd definitely be out there looking for something loose to tighten or something worn to repair or replace.
Better safe than sorry.
