Default Factory seats air bladder lumbar supportfailure?

Been noticing lately the lumbar support seems to get soft or empty after 20 minutes or so. Is this normal?

I've had mine fully inflate for no reason about twice in 4 years of ownership... driving I noticed, damn the seat is uncomfortable... then hit the program button for the seat and it went back to where it should be. Not sure if this is related to that issue.

Minok, I'm glad to see I'm not the only person that's happened to... I've had my car into the dealership twice for that with no resolution, and it's really starting to **** me off...

My driver seat doesn't seem to inflate as much as it used to. I never remember to mess with it when I get back hiome. I'll have to check it out tonight.

Yeah, I've been in twice as well. It happens infrequently and cannot be reproduced. Its either an occasional glitch where the system mistakenly inflates at some point while parked or powering up, or as some have speculated, an issue with the valves.

Unless we can reproduce the problem so the mechanics can diagnose the problem its not going to get addressed.
