Anyone here having this problem ? My Mada only has 2400 miles on it and the damn seat is creaking ! I'm a 6' foot 230lb musclehead and I don't think its my weight doing it. I wonder if I can get the dealer to replace it ? This sux !

You know, mine just started to as well, and I have way less miles.

One thing I DID notice is that it started AFTER I did the Bose sub-woofer poly fill mod. I may have overtightend the seat when putting it back. I am going to try loosening the bolts a bit.

Yeah mine creaks like crazy. I have an appointment at my dealership tomorrow for a couple of TSB's and I am going to have them look at that. It's driving me nuts.

There is a TSB for this. Both the driver and front passenger seat on mine was creaking/squeeking. Once the dealer fixed (I believe it was a new seat frame or something), I have had no more seat squeeks.

scr38 just posted a link to all of the nissan TSB's. I've used the link before, very helpful. I went through all of TSB's, found the ones that were applicable to my truck, printed them out and took the truck to the dealer. Thx for the help scr38!!!!! the link again is www.nissanhelp.com/bulletins/model.htm.

I posted earlier that I did the sub-woofer mod, THEN the seat started creeking...I came off the nut tightness a bit and it's gone.

I'm going to the dealer for the brakes and I'll have them fix the squeak as well as the do the AC TSB. Haven't had any AC problems but better safe than sorry. ;)

So follow up from service, brakes fixed...less dust .

NPF on Airconditioning.

Tightened seat brackets, and it is better, but still quite a bit of noise moving right and left in the drivers seat.
