Last few days after getting into my car everytime I sit back, the back of the seat makes a poping noise and kind of seems like it moves in a little. Undid the lumbar and it doesnt seem to do it. I'm not a big guy so it not like it should be wore in or broken. Anyone experince this problem.

actually i have a 99TL and sometimes when i lean back to get something out of my pocket or when i first get in i notice a noise and it feels like the seat moves ..but i cant make it do it all the time..very strange..

yup.. same thing is happening to me everytime.... I believe it's the heating component in there. Plus I think my seat is a lot looser than the passenger's side. I am gonna bring my car in for some repair.

hahahaha that just happened to me like 3 days ago. I turn on my heated seat this morning on my driver's side, and the f*cking seat back heater is totally dead. My a$$ gets really hot, but nothing on my back. Could this be another one of Acura's "known" problems???

I have been using the heated seats a lot lately -- that might be it.

Yup, I have been using mine about 80% more then I used to use it, because the whether has all of the sudden changed here in Toronto. Anyhow, my heated seat was working fine until I heard this popping noise...oh well I guess I'll bring up the problem next time I get the car serviced.

yeah its definitly something withn the heating unit, the seatback heater used to work fine, now doesn't get hot al all. Hope my warrenty is still good, I only have 38000 on it but its a 2000 and might have been bought in 99. THIS BLOWS!

Just tought i'll give an update to my seat problem -- went to the dealer today and got my car looked at. My seat needs a new "heating pad"(thats what the service guy calles it) . Good thing my cars stilll under warrenty. Parts on order should be fixed in a week or so.

Also asked to look at my rotors as i've read about the problem everyone is having. Don't think mine are that bad, I just a little get vibration when appling the brakes and it sounds like i need new pads soon. So though maybe get some free pads or something by briging up the topic. -- He won't even look at them saying my car has too many miles(38000). Question is has anyone had their rotors cut under warrenty with this high of miles.

Damn seat heaters. I am glad that ou are still under warranty because I was quoted 350.00 for the job to replace both the driver and the passenger seat pads. Seems like a lot of money for something that is only used for a couple of months a year. I really do miss them though in these colder mornings :-(

As far as I know, things like rotors and brake pads are not covered under warranty, only the mechanical components like calipers and the master cylinder brake lines etc.

If its any consolation, I have 38,000 miles on my 2003 TL, I am the original owner, my brakes were rated "excellent" by the service tech at my 37,500 mile service. I think it partly has to do with driving style though.

To resurface rotors is not a complicated job by itself, Some autoparts stores will do it. Its mostly labor.
