Seat Noise?

rxdo · 08-08-2012, 03:22 PM

So i have a 2012 base w/ sport and have noticed that when turning my seat creaks, makes a little noise. It is not a big deal but ive been thinking about it lately. Usually I can hear it when my body shifts to the drivers side of the car taking a hard right turn for example. Is this something I should have the dealer look at ?
thanks in advance.

Can you duplicate the issue by pressing down on sections of the seat? If so, take it to the dealer and have them replace the seat. I wouldn't let the the dealer take hard right corners in my car to reproduce the creaking.

A new $35k car should not have creaking seats.

There is a TSB on it, I took mine in to get fixed. They have to install some washers and bolts or something to tighten it up.
