Seat motor noise?

Anyone experiencing loud motor noises from front seat? Doesn't seem to be seat massage unit. I think it is the motor that auto levels the seat as car drives.

Thoughts?

Not experiencing anything like that on my car. Out of curiosity, how many miles have you got on yours since delivery? I just crossed 3800 miles this morning (after having the car roughly five weeks).

Doing a lot of driving and things are holding together nicely

Determine if the noise is from up and down motion, or front to back. Front to back I'd check the rails under the seat to see if there is a coin or something else lodged in them-very common.

I only have 1300 miles! Great car except the seat leveling motor noise needs to be fixed.

Is there an option for them to squeeze/contour when going around a curve like in the S550?

Isn't this only when in "Sport" mode?
