Ok guys, cant figure this one out. When I am driving straight everything is quiet. However when I take a turn (left or right) my driver seat creaks. Almost like an old rocking chair. Its driving me nuts. I havent pulled the seat out yet to see what it is. I looked at the TSB on seat squeaks. I dont think this is the same thing. Its like the seat back and bottom cushion when weight is applied in a turn it creaks.


Has anyone else had this problem? Keep in mind, I cant hear it over the radio or anything. However if I have the windows up and radio on very low or off I can definately hear it.


Any ideas?

Thanks

seat squeak tsb

I had the same problem with my 07'. Started around my 2nd year of ownership...and finally went away after a year....but it did drive me crazy...know exactly what you mean.

I've found that sometimes dirt / whatever can accumulate on the side of the seat where the leather meets the plastic seat base, and it can cause squeaking. try taking a damp paper towel and wiping all the dirt off there.

Is there a PDF or link to the seat creaking tsb?

Thank you for all of the responses guys. I am going to do the TSB and the tip that Infra recommended. Nothing like a $40K car sounding like an old rocking chair, LOL.

I had the TSB done, and a year later, the creak was back. They tightened the seat bolts, and that took care of the re-appearance.

well I got it back from the dealer. It was a faulty seat track. no more creak.

Wow... that sounds like a pain to fix a squeak noise. I don't feel comfortable with removing the entire seat... unless I wanted to change the leather to 2-tone color (blue center and black).

Both front seats went squeak on me. Had them both "serviced"

Mine was doing the same creaking sound during last winter. Now that it's warmed up, it's disappeared. Can anyone comment if their's was related to certain temperature conditions? I am about to go in for servicing, and was going to bring it up. But w/o it making noise now, I can't imagine they'll go in with the TSB thing.
