Hopefully they are replacing the cooler if equipped as well. Most of the transmission problems with the new 8 speed have been software related only. As far as the seat I am sure there can be an occasional lemon with those as well

I havent heard of anything with the seats. Strange that it creaks. Something must have been loose but the technician couldnt pin point it so they had to just replace it.

I did have an issue with the transmission as well. It is well documented in the JGC forums that there are issues especially in the lower gears. Mine was bucking from 2nd to 1st. I brought it in many times to get it fixed. Eventually the valve body was replaced and it solved the issues. Can I ask what they have tried to do in order to fix your transmission?
