Squeaking sound from the rear seat (I can’t figure out where exactly it is coming from), started at about 30k miles. I have tried vigorously to find out where it’s coming from with no luck; I was hoping it was just a piece of trim that had come loose that I could easily snap back in place – no such luck!
At approximately 40k miles there is a squeak somewhere within the passenger side seatbelt retractor. I have moved the seatbelt adjuster to all different heights, pushed on it, pulled on it and it has made no difference in the sound.
Update from Oct 29, 2011: At 25K miles I started hearing a VERY annoying squeaking sound from the sunroof, I took it to the dealer and was told that the tracks were dirty, they had cleaned them out and the sound was gone. I got the car back and the squeaking sound started about 50 miles later…still squeaking to this day (at about 40k miles). I have to push on the trim around the sunroof to get it to stop for a few miles, then it starts again.
Now I'm well aware what the story is with sunroofs - "they leak, they squeak, and aren't worth the peek" but c'mon squeaking after only 25k miles on a car that was bought new and taken very good care of!?!?!
Interior trim pieces falling off of drivers seat, repaired twice, still came apart, finally on the third time it got fixed properly! Other interior issues with the vehicle just piss me off to no end. Rattles, squeaks from the back really get annoying on the supposed "Car of the Year!"
