Hi all,

My car seat is making a creaking/squeaking noise.. I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue. The car makes this sound especially when I slowly accelerate and my seat moves back. Anyone know a fix to this? Is it lubrication issue or a seat spring issue? It JUST started happening. My NX 350h is a 22' model and only has 3k~ miles.. Thanks all!

Just a random thought, check for wayward water bottles. I don't know how many times I've traced a noise back to a water bottle left somewhere.

nope, no water bottle. It seems to make the sound especially when I accelerate and my body presses on the seat. ahhhh

The car is way too fast for the seats?

I have something similar on my one-month old NX350. I’m not sure though if the noise is from the seat, the door or even the centre pillar. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s really annoying.

im fairly certain my noise is coming from the seat

Lexus noise expert here, having disassembled quite a few brand new Lexuses to fix noises, creaks, and squeaks. I suspect your noise could be one of the plastic panels on the sides or rear. Also make sure its not the seat rubbing up against the center console or associated plastic hardware. Your car is under warranty though so if the problem is easily replicated, have Lexus fix it free. If it were me though I prefer fixing things myself so I'd have the seat broken down in no time at all. Can you pinpoint where the sound is coming from? Try pressing with your hand on certain pieces of the seat and see if it makes the noise. Hopefully it's not deep inside the seat where it's not reasonably accessible.

Can you post a photo of your seat and point out where you suspect the noise is coming from?

I was the squeaky seat would eventually stop, but it’s so much worse. My car is 2 months old. Did this happen to anyone else? I’m scheduling service tomorrow. It’s so loud it’s embarrassing. 😳

Mines is fine. Maybe bring it to the Lexus dealer given you are under warranty anyways.

Hi,
I have the exact same issue with my 2023 NX250. Would love to hear back if anyone figures it out.

Definately have the dealer look at it and claim warranty unless you'll are ok with it.
