mine started to squeak, so i angled it up on the front for like a millisecond and no more squeak. if i put it back at default position, it'll squeak.
it's a weird fix, but i don't notice the change.

BlueDemon, did you find your problem? I've noticed a slight squeak in my driver's seat as well, but my bigger worry is accompanying spring movement. It feels like the seat springs are loose. They sit just above mid-back and have a lot of movement, much more than the passenger seat. I'm guessing I'll have to go to the dealership and cross my fingers that its warranty-able. Any ideas?
Note: I doubt it's my size, I'm under 200lbs and under 6'

No, I still have the squeak ... I've just given up. I only hear it when I get into the car.

I honestly don't notice it until I hit a parking garage. I think the steep grade of the ramps places more of my weight on the seatback, pushing on the springs more. Day to day it goes unnoticed.
Should we just chalk it up to domestic automotive production?

it's rather sad, that angling up the seat a millimeter sort of fixes the problem. i'm 6'3'' and 205, and when the seat started to squeak, i won't lie, i got nervous haha. but after angling the seat, for about roughly 10k miles its been squeak free.
