I got the car last month, (early March) and I drove about 2500 miles.
I have noticed a small rattle (rather a lose spring / chirping noise) whenever I drove on a bumpy road. I took the car to the dealer (original dealer I purchased through went under). They said they have found a small black device underneath the car that was tied with a zip-tie. They asked me whether if I have bought the lo jack and I told them no because I didn't. They don't know what this device is. I am sure they have seen plenty of lojack so they would have told me that this small black box is a lojack but they couldn't figure it out (or they don't want to figure it out, they are not obligated to).

It can be seen when you reach underneath drivers seat..
Does anyone know what this is?

Yeah, pictures would help. Does it have any kind of labeling on it, or writing? Just a black box? Thats weird.

If it looks like this be concerned:



You should never have posted this without showing us what you are talking about.

lol, it's brand new. I'm at work, so I wouldn't be able to post the picture till later. The car is still at the dealer.

Is this device under the car or under the driver's seat? If under the driver's seat, it might be the seatbelt interlock device which turns off the warning light when you plug in the seatbelt. There is at least that black plastic box under the driver's seat. Plus, I think there is also a black plastic box as part of the seat heater circuit under the driver's seat.

If the question is "should I have a black plastic box under the driver's seat?", the answer is yes.
