MQ Passenger side seat and seatbelt rattle

[durphurpin]

Wondering if you guys can confirm my findings.

Only the right hand side of my seat rattles then when it builds up enough momentum then the left side can't hold it any more then it starts to move.

I'm starting to think the hinge in the right hand side of the seat has a loose component.

On mine the ratchet part of the passenger seat right hand side came loose eventually and leaning back in the seat it wouldn't lock in place. Instead of fixing they replaced the whole seat back under warranty. Now no noises.

78,000ks, no seat rattle, seat belt only vibrates if not sitting side on to pillar

Update from MMAL on this issue, fix is getting near I hope....read below

Further to our initial reply (15 January 2018), Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd (MMAL) in conjunction with our Parent Company Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC – Japan), have now gone through an investigation process to understand customers concerns and then make an improvement to the left front passenger seat design. Unfortunately, the engineering process has taken a period of time due to the concept of an initial design improvement, tooling to make the component, testing including both static and dynamic and finally homologation/certification.

An improved design has now been finalised and the procurement of the component is currently underway. MMAL will soon advise on the timing to have your vehicle fitted with the improved component.

Once the improvement is available, it will be applied to your vehicle and in acknowledgement of your patience and understanding,

Will test later today.

Had the seat vibration fix today MQ52-004 and no the seat still rattles, I believe the Mitsubishi engineer who designed this model triton seat needs a re-adjustment of his/her career.

Had the fix done several weeks and it came back worse. Took it back to the dealer and they have no idea.. still waiting on hearing back from them.

If you've got one of those 'dog dicks' on the rear diff, it may be worth shifting that to under the floor where the seat mounts.

Had my MQ 2015 front LHS seat replaced under warranty last week, in SA.

I am risk averse to using dealers. Only for warranty work.

Look at what the "highly trained technicians" did with the USB phone charging cable. Yes, they really did do that.

Took it back, asked for the Service Manager - "it’s comical and you really need to see this. "

He offered to fix it on the spot. "no thanks, i don't want you guys touching my car again. But you may want to have a chat to your highly trained technicians."

The seat doesn't rattle any more. It was driving me bonkers.

What does the fix involve? Bracing for the seat?
I'll get it done for my next service (it's a lease ute) but interested to know what the fix actually is.

Probably but back some of the metal that was 'designed' out in the model.
