only thing i can suggest is to take it out and have a good look at the seat on the floor..

might be something broken or just loose..

without seeing pics of it, it would be impossible to offer any real insite..

Mine does the same thing. The broken part seems to be on the passengers side but it moves when you push on th drivers side front corner. I've tried to find a diagram to show what's broken but haven't had any luck.

Ford dealerships have piles of exploded view diagrams. You can just ask them to print it out for you and have a very good picture of where everything is.

Has anyone looked at the Plastic below the hinges that it hasn't cracked? I put to much pressure on mine and that is what cracked and now when I rest my arm on it it seem to flex slightly. Thinking of trying some JB weld to strengthen that area.

My 2008 did the same thing. I took it in to the dealer and they removed the center console/seat to look at it. They had to replace the armrest and brackets that holds the armrest to the seat.
