Help with Noises?

I'm thinking of taking this thread into the dealership because whenever I tell them that the seats in my car squeak whenever going over bumps or when people get in and out, they say this is normal and expected. Does this happen in your GL? If so, did the dealer fix it? The front seats squeak and so do the outer seats in the second row. There is also a creaking noise coming from the plastic underneath the seats, which probably needs lubrication?

Please respond as I want to show my dealer what other people think of the squeaking seat problem. Thanks

It does not happen in my car. Dealer must fix it.

No squeaks from either front seat. The right second row has just started to squeak. I'll be getting it fixed.
