I searched the forums but couldn't find anything on seats sliding. Has anyone experienced their driver's seat sliding back upon gentle/normal acceleration? It probably only slides 0.5cm, but enough to feel. I noticed it today for the first time, in my 3 week old R1S (260 miles) as I was accelerating from a stop sign and then again at a stop light. I am not accelerating rapidly. Strangely, I can't feel it slide forward when coming to a stop. Anyone experienced this?

Sigh... another item to add to my service appointment in a month. :(

My guess is that the mounting bolts aren't fully torqued down, I have a simliar issue in my Ford Fusion where the seat moves the smallest amount, but I really only notice it because of the hard stop once it reaches the end of its "slack".
