tito_b0y Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nope. Creak came back in mine. Just turn up the volume for a temporary fix. 2006 SWP 3.0R 5EAT VDC BBQ 2008 OBP 2.5i 4EAT BBQ [RIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Marker Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 My 2011 Legacy Limited has a squeaky front passenger seat. My fiance is pretty much the only one in the seat and she weighs 130lbs. Car has 3k miles on it. Annoying as hell! Haven't brought it up to the dealer yet....waiting for the drivers seat to start so they can attempt to fix both. In a recent edition of Motortrend magazine, they described this car as "quirky." I couldn't agree more. I have the same issue... Glad it's not just me. Only my fiancée sits in the passenger seat and she's light. I'm going to double check that it's not a water bottle or something. Then I'll call up the dealer. 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_bobby Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Let me know how it goes. I won't rest till I get this figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Marker Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I had my finacee in the car and we were trying to figure it out... It doesn't seem to be coming from adding weight to the seat, but the weight added when you're sitting back. So I would surmise it has something to do with the seat back hinge area. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to consistently get it to squeak.... 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the seat that was squeaking... it was the passenger seat belt buckle mounting point was rubbing against something. Swung by the dealer and they sprayed the area with some white stuff and the squeak is gone. 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcw Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I had a squeaky drivers seat in my 2010 Legacy and took it back to the dealer multiple times. The dealer lubricated the rails, replaced the rail assembly, replaced the seat frame, cushion and seat back within a 15 month time frame. After constantly bugging the dealear and District Rep, I did a test drive with the District Rep and a technican with an "electronic ear system". It took that much to get them to believe me that the seat was still squeaking and replaced the rails again. No problems for the past year but what a ridiculous pain in the butt! Best of luck to anyone with a squeaky seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinlman Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 At first thought my clutch pedal was squeaking, sprayed lithium grease on the switches. As I was testing it out it I found it was my seat squeaking the whole time. It's driving me nuts! I'm 140lb.. car now has 140k km on it. all I have to do it press on the front of the seat even with my hand (with light to moderate pressure) and it squeaks. When I have time I'll tear it all apart and grease everything up. Will post up results if I get any.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
