Driver's seat squealing when adjusting
I have a 2010 3LT which includes adjustable sport bucket seats. I have the driver's seat programned to recede and lower when the door opens after engine shutoff and to return to my preferred position for driving when the car is started. This is a great feature which makes exiting/entering the car easier. I have been having some loud squealing of the seat mechanisms when using this feature on very hot days when the car gets very warm inside. The problem occurs when the seat nears its limit of travel in either mode but does not seem to occur when the temperature is lower in the car. Can anybody offer a suggestion as to the cause/remedy? I can, of course, take it to the dealer but if its a cool day, the problem may not exhibit itself. I searched this forum but found no information . Thanks.

I figured out the fix......since I'm the only driver of this vehicle, I turned off the "easy exit" feature which, hopefully, means the seat won't be moving at all making that screeching noise.
