Hmmnnn another case of one problem.......in a way.
You bought the car with the seat problem. Not part of a pattern. Might have happened years ago.
The knocking in the rear is a known issue, but if it is like most, it goes away right? Just at startup I think?
It is some sort of self check that is run.
I had a chrysler once that did a self check on the ABS...if you listened for it you could hear it. They couldn't really fix it since it was doing what it was supposed to do. After a while I didn't hear it.
Anyway, I think there is a TSB on it where they can try and make it quieter, but I don't think they can totally eliminate it.
On the Tire monitor.......I would suspect that the Tire sensors need to be indexed. That has to be done whenever you rotate tires.
Look in your owners manual and see if there is a procedure. Otherwise the dealer can do it. No big deal.
Or they broke a sensor or two.....
