Same here, I actually got so annoyed one time that I punched my dash. I think its the trim on the dash on the driver side that little piece seems to be loose or something...

mine is a squeaky seat.. sucks my rear.. if you reach out and hold the passenger seat by the headrest and push it to do the passenger door squeak will go away.

I just realized today that my back seat is loose from the top (where you fold down) it keeps getting unhooked...

I had a squeaky seat months ago, the dealership lubed the drivers seat position sensor bracket. (Exactly what it says on the work order I just looked up)
Problem solved.

I have the same seat squeak you guys are talking about. It came around about 2 months ago. I looked alot of places trying to diagnose where it was coming from. Finally figured out its under the seat.

I found the TSB for it.

Going to lubricate the target position sensor and bracket myself. No sense in taking it to the dealer for something a 4 year old can do. Plus, I found a couple things under the seat that need improving/modifying.

I have the same noise but it seems to be coming from under the shifter...

Like many on here have done all of you should be able to get this issue fixed with a talk with your dealerships. They have the documents to diagnose the issues that all of you are experienceing and subsequently fix them. I hope this is what fixes your issues. If you have any more issues or if this one specifically continues then you can contact me through this forum for assistance. Thank you for your time.

Moaning/Creaking Noise from Front Seats (Apply Lubricant) - (Jun 4, 2009)


Subject: Scraping/Moaning/Creaking Noise from Front Seats (Apply Lubricant)


Models: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This bulletin is being revised to add the driver's six-way power seat creak condition. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-08-50-009 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Condition
Some customers may comment about a scraping or moaning type noise coming from the front of the front seat track area. This condition occurs when the seat assembly is being cycled into the full forward position. Some customers may also comment about a creaking noise coming from the driver's six-way power seat when it is in the full rearward position. This condition only applies to six-way power seats.

Cause
This scraping or moaning condition may be caused by the seat position sensor (SPS) making contact with seat position sensor target bracket. This contact is made in the lead in area of the SPS. This contact area controls the function of the SPS. The drivers seat creaking condition may be caused by the lack of lubricant in the rear of the drivers seat track assembly.

Correction
The application of a lubricant to the contact area of the components will eliminate the noise. Use the following steps to apply lubricant to the seat position sensor target bracket, located on the inner seat track and to the rear of the drivers seat tracks.

Move the seat assembly to the rearmost position.
Locate the seat position sensor target bracket on the seat inboard track.

Apply a thin coating of Super Lube with PTFE, GM P/N 12371287 (in Canada, use P/N 10953437), or the equivalent, to the top and bottom of the driver and passenger seat position sensor target bracket. Coat the full length of the bracket and ensure the coating extends at least 10 mm (0.40 in) from the edge of the bracket as shown.
Cycle the seat to the full forward position and verify the concern is corrected.



With the drivers seat in the full forward position, locate the rear of the inboard and outboard seat tracks.



Using a small screwdriver, pry off the two seat track end caps.



Apply a thin coating of Super Lube with PTFE, GM P/N 12371287 (in Canada, use P/N 10953437), or the equivalent, to the front side of the two stop tabs identified by the arrows, as shown. Repeat the application on the second seat track.
Insure the lubricant covers the area where the lower stops make contact with the upper seat track stops.
Clean up any excess lubricant and reinstall the two seat track end caps.
