First off, I don't want this to become a "rip Tesla" thread. I am genuinely looking for some thoughts and feedback on my best avenues to help with a service issue. So, here goes...
In the middle of April (2018), I took my car for the annual maintenance plan. While I was there, I complained that my driver seat was unstable. It felt like it was "rocking" back and forth. My concern was that if I was in an accident, the seat felt like it would peel right off the floor of the car. The car had this issue for a while but it was getting worse. It almost felt like the seat wasn't fully fastened to the floor of the car.
I took the car to the Mississauga service center and they looked at the seat and the tech determined that the seat itself was defective and it needed to be replaced. So, he order me a brand new seat (2016 90D refresh with next gen seats in black). He told me it would take 6-8 weeks for the seat. Seemed reasonable to me.
To be honest, I almost forgot about the new seat until (in July) I came up with a hard braking situation and really felt like the seat was coming off the hinges, so I immediately contacted the service centre to ask about the seat. In response, I got a VM and an email and it seemed like the seat was never ordered at all. So, I was back at square one.
I was told they were on it and I would have my new seat shortly but no time frame was given.
I waited about a month, until the second week of August and I spoke to the same service advisor and was told I would have the seat in 1-2 weeks (I also have that in an email from my serivce advisor). That was about a month ago. Still no seat.
I contacted the service advisor again last week and he basically said, "they had to make you a brand new seat and that takes time". No explanation for why he told me 1-2 weeks a month ago.
It has been 5 months since I was told they were replacing my seat and still nothing.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
