Squeek!

The three things I always check when I hear a rattle (since I can't always hear where it comes from):

1. The shelf in the upper glove compartment.

2. The sunglasses holder

3. The sun visors (they rattle annoyingly if not firmly in their place).

I haven't heard anything that squeaks, but maybe what I call a rattle would be a squeak to you....

 

I had a squeak when mine was new which finally went away when I went to the trunk and tookout the plastic insert that covers the spare tire and put it back in and made sure all tabs and slots were aligned properly.

 

I have a similar squeek when I hit a bump, though not always. I can't tell if its front or rear, but I think its front suspension somewhere. I cured a similar problem on another car by spraying silicone lubricant anywhere I could see parts touching on the front strut. I'm too lazy now, and I've heard it maybe 5 times in 11,000 miles. Good luck with yours. Please share the solution if you find it.

I had a squeak in the passenger seat (when it was unoccupied). I took it in and the shop did something to the retaining pins. Seemed to solve it for a while, but it's back now. Not as bad as before, but definitely there. Guess I'll have them try again next time it's in the shop.

Apparently this is a problem widespread enough to require a maintenance bulletin.

 

I had a similar squeak, drove me crazy for weeks. Finally removed the pull out cover for the rear storage and replaced. Squeak gone.

 

I had a squeak I couldn't find for a long time. My wife finally found it when she was in the car one night. It ended up being the rear view mirror. To make the squeak stop, all I have to do is squeeze the mirror.

 

I tracked a squeak down to the fold down handle right above my head on the driver's side. No matter what I do I can not get it to go away (it squeaks whenever you touch it!). Why does that handle exist anyways? We always called it an "oh shxt" handle for the passenger...but why have it on the drivers side?

someone else told me to check the back seats and make sure they are locked in place, that easy and my squeek is gone. it only happened when i went over a bump.

BOTH HANDLES ON MY 2006 squeek like crazy but intermittently. I grab the handle, pull it down once or so and it stops for a while

In Winter, my passenger seat sounds like two pieces of styrofoam rubbing against each other.

I complained last spring but got the "I can't hear anything" response and the "No one else ever complained about this" response.

Got the same response with regards to the front center speaker (especially on AM talk). Am I the only one, or is the super duper JBL upgraded sound system about the worst upgraded sound ever.

Got a few other random buzzes & rattles when the conditions are just right.

I will try the dealer again this coming winter cause I just don't have time to bother now.

In spite of all the above (& the stupidest nav / alert system made), absolutely love the car.
