Squeeky Driver's Seat Problem
.
I think that's Ford's favorite canned answer, "It's normal." My dealer used to get fancy on me when I would inquire about something. They'd say to me, "It's a characteristic of the truck."
That's a good one
My seat doesn't squeek but my ashtray make an annoying noise.like a rattle and a vibration put together. I reseved a recall slip in the mail for the brake booster vac. hose or what ever, and the guys there wanted to charge me an arm and a leg for a new ashtray and ashtray slider piece thing they said. i told them I don't use the thing so I don't care double side tape it was!!!! no prob opening it because I velcroed it so i can still use for business cards or change..sorry if it is off topic but i had too, they will get the money were they can and try and get a good buck for doing nothing...
I have a 2008 with only 8900 miles and it has been in for the creaking seat issue 4 times with different new parts put in on 3 of those occasions. Still not fixed.
Anyone have an actual "fix" I could share with my dealer?

XLRASHIN,
My ENTIRE SEAT was replaced, see my post back in July 2009. The problem is already back. I'm afraid that this is a fundamental problem with the design of the seat....
Also tried lubricating, to no avail.

Its coming from where the "seat basket" meets the frame of the seat. I have no better way to describe this. Mine was on the outside. Pull back the plastic piece, and look for a ~1" circular tubing meeting a think piece of the "cushion basket" Its metal on metal. I jammed a flathead in there and pried them apart. It fixed it for a while... I was so mad about the creaking that I pried enough to break of the screwdriver! Good news is, the broken driver has kept the thing from making any noise for about 10,000 miles!
I had this issue on the last 2 trucks I had including the one I am driving now. Both time the dealership had to take the seat out and mgyver a few of the little rungs that support the *** cushion and weld a few things to get it out, but both times they removed it 110% it drove me nuts !!
