Any heavier drivers out there?

I'm a weightlifter and weigh about 270-280lbs (I compete in the 125kg weight class).

Recently my driver's seat started squeaking whenever I moved, including let off the clutch, etc.

I took the car in to the dealership (I've owned the car for six months, and it's been in the shop for a month of that so far) and the first time, the tech said he couldn't replicate the problem.

I did a ride-along with him yesterday and sure as shit, the seat creaked and squeaked (and the rear interior trim pieces buzzed, etc.). The tech told me this was a "big boy problem" and that he was "not even going to try to fix it."

WTH?

Is this acceptable?

Is there anyone else who weighs a fair bit who drives a Mustang, and if so, does your seat sound like a sad sea lion? Should I just go to a different dealer?

I can say that this whole experience of dealing with Ford's lousy QC is really, really souring me on the brand. I'm very disappointed in the fact that my car has only 3,800 miles and has had all these issues.
