Seat problem / please help

on my 04 FX4 Supercab (1800 miles) my drivers seat seems messed up. I have the bucket seat and when sitting in it I feel as though I am constantly doing that "Detroit Lean" thing. the right rear of the seat seams much softer than the rest and I have to sit up straight by holding myself up by the steering wheel. i took it to the dealer & the Asst. Service Manager got in and said "all is fine, I don't notice any problems". He and I are the same size, and I am sure that something isn't correct. i asked to make an appointment to have it fixed & he said "why? I don't notice anything wrong". Anyone have some legitimate recommendations? Please help!!

Get a second opinion. Take it to another dealer.

I am not trying to be smart, but do you carry your wallet in your left hip pocket? I know when I have too much junk in mine it causes me problems, including causing the nerve in my sciatic nerve to get inflamed.
It has been written up in medical journals that this happens.

Service managers never think anything is wrong with any vehicle unless you pull it in with a part dragging on the ground making sparks.

Talk to your salesperson. More than 50% of their business comes from repeat customers so they'll usually try to help you. If you tell them the service dept. wouldn't help they'll usually get some type of manager involved.

All I can say is that the power buckets take a couple of weeks to get used to. The plate that protects the motor under the seat is probably what you are feeling. After about 1500 miles I was totally used to mine and now I think it is the most comfortable out there.

Put your wallet in your right hip pocket to balance yourself out.
