Hello all,
I ran a search but couldn't find this exact problem, and am wondering if anybody has any similar experience. I have a deep creak or groan in the driver's seat. It happens when weight is dramatically shifted, like coming away from a stop or even when I let off the brake and weight is shifted back into the seat. It also happens rolling down a road with lots of ups and downs. I brought it to the dealer (CPO) and they swore it was a leather rigidness/conditioning issue and conditioned the leather, but the sound is still there. The thing is, I can't reproduce it by pushing on any part of the leather or the plastic seat back. I think it is something deep down in the structure of the seat.
Just wondering if anyone has had anything like this before before I take it back to them for another go.
Thanks!
Jeff

I also have what sounds like creaking in my 13 LWB AWD. Not sure if this is accurate but it feels like the lumbar support inflates when I start the car and I was thinking maybe this inflated bladder, if there is one?, has something to do with it.

I too suspect somethign to do with the lumbar support. I have tried adjusting it and it doesn't seem to matter what position it is in, but maybe it's some kind of support for it. That said, I think your seat is pretty different from mine.
