Passenger seat rattle
Passenger seat rattle
Does anyone have this problem and or the fix?
Or does anyone have the spec to take apart the seat so I can insulate it
If I push the seat while I drive it stops?[sm=WTFsgign.gif]
Any help would mean my sanity
All the best and thanks to all!!

RE: Passenger seat rattle
Yea I would like to know this also, makes me want to rip the damn seat out hearing it all the time.
I also have a metal vibration sound coming from my shifter at around 2200 rpm that is making me go insane.
Also is anyone else with an Automatic getting a high pitch whine when you drive off kind of slowly and it continues into 2nd gear,
I have taken my car to the dealership for this and was told that they haven't came across this yet but took an 08 auto for a drive and it did the same thing. I was told that if the noise got louder to bring it back.
Seems to me that Ford knows about this but isn't doing anything until more people complain about it and then will put out a TSB on it.
Oh and I'm not talking about gear whine, the sound is coming from the center console area

RE: Passenger seat rattle
About the high pitch whine in the tranny..I have it to on my 07 GT/CS. Mine goes in next week for the rear-end Moan/groan noise TSB# 07-22-8 and I requested for a tech to listen to the whine. I'll let you know what they say. But, I figure i had the car now for a while and there is approx. 10,000 miles on it. The whine is still there and it still shifts without a problem. I figure its been so long and it hasnt gotten worse and the tranny feels fine, so maybe its another Ford "noise". Oh 1 other thing... if you read the manual, the tranny has an adaptive learning process that conformsto your driving style. I wonder if our "style" has something to do with it...maybe if we accelerate to slowly and the tranny stays in 2nd gear for too long, the gear gets over spun and whines just like an engine would sound like when you get close to red line..........just a theory...

Mine does the same...that's Ford quaility.
It does go away sometimes here and there. I noticed it would leave after someone has sit in the seatfor a while and some adjustments were made by the passenger.
