I have a 2012 IS250C. When I get in and out of the driver's seat, the back of the seat creaks. It sound to be coming from the seat belt holder that runs through the back of the seat near the door. The car only has 17k mikes on it so it seems to be something that really shouldn't be occurring. It's really just a nuisance, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to reduce or eliminate it.

thanks

 

So is this unique to me? Anyone?

 

I have the same thing. Never really checked it out though, as it's not overly annoying...yet.

Although, I am interested to know what may or could be done to fix it.

 

Thanks for acknowledging this. I thought I was the only one that owed a ISC anymore. Yes, it's not overly annoying, but it's a Lexus.

 

I have a 2010 ISC and the only noises are weatherstrip creaking when the temp is about 40º and below. That and the driver seat groaning when I move it forward to get in the back seat.

There are maybe a half dozen other ISC that I regularly see by me.

 

Check the 2 rear 14mm bolts on the seat track to the floor. The 2 plastic covers just pop off after you have slid the seat forward.

I have seen quite a few of these bolts come loose and cause the seat track to twist and cause a creaking noise when weight is shifted on it.

 

Wow! Thanks. Finally someone with some input. I'll check it out and post back.

 

Well the seat tracks are as tight as they can be. I guess I'll keep looking. Thanks

 

Sorry can't help either, but FWIW I had creaking in the area behind my rear seats that just went away after some bumps on the road and folding the top up & down. Maybe it'll go away eventually? Or just have the technician have a look at it at your next service visit.

 

There was a TSB many years ago for this
