Trevor,
No, this is normal. What you should check is that they lock up when you
brake hard. I didn't find this out until I had people riding in the back
seat, and had someone pull out in front of me. Upon hard breaking, the next
thing I know, I'm pinned between the steering wheel and the backrest of my
seat. The latches failed on both front bucket seats. The people in the
back braced themselves against the back of the front seats, and just keep
coming forward. They are suppose to latch and not permit forward motion
under severe braking. I would test for this before you get into a situation
similar to this. Took it back into the dealer and had the latching
mechanisms replaced and the overall operation checked.

Subject: DML: 99 CC Rear seat accessibility
I have a new 99 CC with bucket seats and it's really hard to get into the
back. The front seats (in my opinion) do not slide properly. If you use
the
latch on the back of the seat the passengers seat will slide forward and
then
back to the factory position, not the position you had set it to. On the
drivers side if you use the release on the back of the seat the top goes
forward but the seat does not slide up. Is this a problem I should see the
dealer about or is it something I should just deal with?
Thanks in advance!
Trevor.
