I've just noticed a little squeak that seems to come from the rear end, that sounds sort of like Styrofoam rubbing (best description I can come up with). It only happens on very slow, almost full turns starting from a stop. It's not continuous, but like a light rattle. I believe I've never heard as any volume of the entertainment system hides it. The wife says she's noticed for a while and thought nothing of it. Anyone else come across this? No alerts or system notifications.

I'm not sure if what you're hearing is the same as what I recently heard on mine, but it could be the door latch stryker. There's another thread on here where a ton of ppl discussed it. The person who started the thread also posted a video with the sound, so maybe that'd be helpful to you.

The issue is the stryker that's mounted to the frame of the vehicle needing some white lithium grease (or elecrical tape). It stops the creaking sound from the door moving slightly against the stryker.

The sound is a creaking sound but only when starting to move from a stop and when turning at slow speeds (5-10mph). Mine went away on it's own 1 day later (and my door strykers still have a little lithium grease on them from the factory.

I don’t that’s it. Mine seems higher pitched. The wife says it sounds like a wire being stretched/rubbing, but I assured her drive by wire didn’t literally mean wire LOL. It can’t hurt to try the grease so since I have some I will apply. Thanks for the post referral.

Plus, I can pretty much cause it on demand on a road smoother than a billiard table. I just hope it’s nothing that continues and causes a much bigger problem (unexpectantly).
