Multi contour owners

I've read on the forums about the squeaky multi contour seats, but mine make a lot of noise while inflating when my car starts up. Anyone else had this problem? It sound like a bunch of balloons rubbing together. After inflated no other noise from the seat. Wondering if this is simple to fix? I'd hate to take to the dealership and leave with more squeaks when I leave than when I went in.

It's normal to hear the pump, but not all the squeaking. Didn't do it the first 9 months of ownership and now does it constantly.

Mine squeaked for about 6 months then went away and has never came back. It was annoying to deal with at first but probably one of the best automotive seats I have had in the terms of comfort.

Lensman5, were your seats squeaking driving down the road or just when you first get in and the seats inflate?
