from Front Seats (Apply Lubricant) - (Jun 4, 2009)

Condition
Some customers may comment about a scraping or moaning type noise coming from the front of
the front seat track area. This condition occurs when the seat assembly is being cycled into the
full forward position. Some customers may also comment about a creaking noise coming from
the driver's six-way power seat when it is in the full rearward position. This condition only
applies to six-way power seats.
Cause
This scraping or moaning condition may be caused by the seat position sensor (SPS) making
contact with seat position sensor target bracket. This contact is made in the lead in area of the
SPS. This contact area controls the function of the SPS. The drivers seat creaking condition may

be caused by the lack of lubricant in the rear of the drivers seat track assembly.

Had the problem on mine after 200 miles. Took it back to the dealer and it is no longer a problem.

I love this forum! This has been bugging me for a couple of months. I'll call my dealer and have them check this out.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

If the dealer can't fix, I may try this as well. I even tried the belt clip, but haven't really narrowed it down yet.

Thanks.

Same, it was soo damn irritating. I only way 145 if that helps. Someone stated that it wasnt actually the seat, but the seatbelt latch
