Default Movement inside driver seat

I have a 2022 RX450h and my driver seat seems to have an issue. Something moves inside. Whenever I stop, I can feel a movement inside the seat cushion. It is very annoying. The car is currently in the shop. Anyone else ever had an issue with the driver seat?
Thanks

It's probably a mouse and you're disturbing it when you stop! Or maybe your hip is on it's way out!

I'm guessing a spring came loose and when you stop your weight is moved forward and you are pushing the spring.

Like Ravenuer, never heard of this one.

Keep us posted, sounds interesting.

Cheers

Here is a post for somebody troubleshooting seat noise:

It's for a BMW E90 but it may give you some ideas on what to look for.

My wife has a 2017 RX 450h and the driver seat has the same issue. It only happens on my setting as I have a different seat configuration. The seat shifts on the door side seat rail during stopping—stop-n-go traffic makes it even more pronounced. Since her model is the luxury model, the front seats are fully loaded with the leg bolster heat/cool etc. Therefor, I have not had the dealer address it as every time the dealer (now on our second dealer) touches the vehicle they always leave their calling card in the form of a scratch, mark, or some other form of damage (minor or major). I am interested to learn what the cause and remedy is for this issue, as it's annoying as hell, and hope you post your final resolve. Thanks
