Can YOU make it do the pinging noise when you visit the service people? Does it actually operate properly despite the noise? The GV, like most complex modern vehicles, makes a variety of clicking, thunking, humming, whining, etc. noises. Did you buy the GV new?
As for the seats, I've just been through a long saga with ours. Ours stretched within 2 weeks of buying the '06 new. It took three years to get Suzuki to do anything about it. Three years is when the warranty covering that sort of thing expires. They refused to install new seat covers, and sent the front seats to an upholsery shop to have the stretched panels, um, stretched. And resewn into place, I presume. They also added some padding under those panels. Although the panel on the drivers seat stretched a little bit again, I expected them to get much worse. In fact, they haven't. The passengers seat looks fine, and the drivers seat looks good enough. Everything seems to fit ok.
So I have to say I'm satisfied they're fixed well enough. All this didn't make them any more comfortable on long drives.
