I have a 2016 Premium GT. On the right side of my seat there's a random squeak that I can't replicate when the engine is off. It's not loud per se, but it's annoying to hear.

It's one of those issues where its a huge headache to take it into the dealer, convince them I'm not crazy, keep their attention and take them for a couple loops around the block for them to hear.

Has anyone else run into any issues (and have a DIY fix) with their seats?

I have a 15 premium and my seats don't squeak, but my drivers side seat bottom portion will move on me when I hit a corner hard. Kind of unnerving when you dive into a right hander and your seat bottom moves on you. Haven't taken it to the dealer because it's hard to duplicate at times. Don't want to be labeled a nut case kind of like you said.

Mine do. Really badly. The dealer told me it's "normal," or a problem for "big boys."

Not kidding.

I'm done with that dealer for sure, but honestly, with all the squeaks and rattles in a $30k car I'm really disappointed in Ford's QC.

X2. At 600 miles my dash started rattling. Now at 3300 i dont even know where to look i feel like they're coming from everywhere. But i bought the car mainly for the high rev coyote.

I notice mine does depending on how close my seat is to the steering wheel. My car is a base with manual, so getting close enough to press the clutch in is required. I noticed that the seat bottom will rub on the center console and cause the squeak sound. If I adjust my right leg (thigh) towards the center, the noise stops. I'm 6'0 230#. I also have the manual cloth recaro's. YMMV

Mine was making a lot of creaking noises. It was the seat belt on the latch side rubbing against the side of the seat bottom. Place something like a rag between the belt and seat and see if it goes away.

Only when I fart. Though calling it a "creak" is charitable. There are freight trains that make less of a horn-blow than my ass.

My driver seat creaks but I can hardly hear it while I'm driving. I'm what is called "plus-sized".
