Seats creaking
 

I tried searching, haven't came across it.

My driver side seat creaks everytime I accelerate or brake. Seems like it is coming from the seat near the butt area, but I can't pinpoint it exactly. It comes and goes, but comes more than it goes. It is getting really annoying.. :mad0259:

Anyone experienced this? Or know any solutions?

Is it the seat belt strap under the buckle near the center console, like it is for me? I need to put some grease where it pivots

No I don't think its that part, I had that issue before and used some WD40 and it went away. The sound is kind of near that area though. Seems like its from under the seat or something.

Well, my shotgun approach to squeaks is to shoot at them with silicone spray till they shut up ....;)

Hahah only thing is I can't pinpoint this damn creak. I was just going to lube everything up!

Do you work for Consumer Reports?

Not sure if serious.

My seat creaks when I exit the car. Pretty sure its the seat and not the suspension. I hope it's not the suspension

Allow me to re-phraise my suggestion ..... I just blast everything in the area that "could squeak"......:D.

It might be a spring "in" the seat, if that is the case, you might have to take the seat out to get to it OR inject the lubricant (hot soapy water may be better) through the seat ..... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/woot.gif sort of like a steroid shot into a bone joint.

If its the suspension it'll be pretty loud

Oh man I hope its not the springs, that'll be a pain. It doesnt seem like it though, I try pressing down on it and no noise. But its when the seats move back and forth ie. accelerating/braking that the noise comes. I thought it was the seat rails at first, but it wasn't. I'll try to do a vid on it.

Sounds like the seat is not fully locked.

Get in back and try to push it hard after the front seat is in position.

Get out of the car and push the seat after it is in position.

I have the same thing... I originally thought it was the shifter.. But it's actually from leaning over to use the shifter that I hear the noise from the seat..
I don't have to move much at all.. The noise is pretty low but noticeable..
I haven't heard it in awhile.. Maybe the cooler weather setting in.. It's weird but not too bad now that I know what it is..

No its not that, seats locked in place. If not when I drive it'll lock itself anyway.

Yeah thats it! Yeah its not bad in the morning when cold, but later on in the day, it really gets annoying for me esp when driving in traffic.

I have the same problem. I was gunna ask the dealer next time I get my oil change.
