Yeah all they do for that rrt is grease the rails under the seat, you can do that yourself if you want I'm sure if you don't want to make a trip to the dealer.

Here is my post from a while back when I had the same problem. There are pictures about 1/2 way down the page. The Rapid response is only for cloth, non-electric seats. The problem with the heated\cooled seats is the cooling fan. The fix was using a zip tie to keep the mounting bracket away from the seat motor. Its amazing how a little rubbing can make such a racket.

You should be able to see the spot where the bracket rubs. I don't know if I noted in my previous post, use a LARGE 12"+ zip tie because the space is limited and you will need to give the tie a few bends to be able to feed it around everything. With the seat height all the way up you should be able to reach in from the front and the side to get it done. Good luck and be careful, there are many sharp edges under there.

BAH I had no squeak until I took it in for its first oil change and they told me they performed the RTT on it, since then its squeaked like a SOB And I have Sport half leather/electric seat with no heated seats.

Anyone having an issue with the frt pasenger seat? the only way i can manipulate it to repeat the noice is if i tap/push it from the side and it does more of a rattle noise, as if the screws are in are loose. Its an 09 w/42k an no current extended warranty, will dealer fix this for me at no cost??

How is it squeaking? I've posted a few times on the issue. Mine was a nasty squeak when I hit a bump and usually only if someone was in the passenger seat. It ended up being a bolt under the body under the passenger seat that was sticking down and hitting the frame. The dealer grinded an 1/8" off and it doesn't rub anymore.

The noise happens when I hit a bump or bumpy road and is getting progressively worst or atleast seems like it since I know its there

Give it a look under there, run your hand along the top of the frame and see if anything is close to hitting, then see if there's any grooves in the frame rail, then cut the bolt back.
If not, I'm not sure, the other thing my dealer was thinking was a missing weld on the joint of two pieces of sheet metal on the floor which could cause them to squeak as they move back and forth on top of each other...
