Default Problem with drivers seat 07 accord se

This is my first Honda product and I have trouble with the drivers seat since I bought it. If you move side to side in the seat, like when taking a turn, or hit a mild bump I hear a loud creaking noise. I have been to two dealerships regarding this issue and so far no one has come up with a solution so I thought I would try here and see if anyone has had the same problem. The problem with the seat is the loud creaking coming from somewhere in the frame. One dealership installed some kind of felt barrier between the frame and the seat. The other dealer replaced the seat tracks. After both fixes failed the second dealer told me to spray silicone spray on the various moving parts and springs to see if I could isolate the problem. So far that has not worked. Any ideas?

I asked for a replacement. They said that Honda will not simply replace the seat without trying several different fixes. Thursday will be my 4th trip to the dealer for the same issue. I might have to get a Honda rep involved after this one or try a third dealer in the area. So much for customer service!

have you been going to the same dealer for these trips? if not, that owuld make your case tougher. you want the same knowledge base to be troubleshooting it every successive time, especially if you're making a case to hondaNA

1trip to first dealer, last 3 trips to the other dealer. I went yesterday and they told me that Honda will not replace the seat and that I have to wait three weeks for the regional Honda rep to come out and look at it to determine what Honda can do. So far I am not impressed with Honda. Anyone else would have replaced the seat and sent me on my way.
