TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO BE FIXED. THEY SAID GMAC WILL NOT COVER THIS BUT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART UNDER THE SEAT. WENT THROUGH THIS 3 TIMES WITH THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THE LAST TIME THEY "REPLACED " THE UPRIGHT PART OF THE SEAT. THE SEATS STILL MAKES THE POPPING NOISE AND SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN SPRING(S). *TR
