 Squeak---Theories?



Passed through 1000 miles and returned the car to dealer for a few minor glitches:

1.) B pillar rattle
2.) Steering wheel squeak

3.) Intermittent squeak from rear end at low speed. This one's weird and the dealer cannot figure it out. It's related to tire rotation. It's one squeak per rpm, and it disappears after 25 mph.

Theories?

...but cannot identify the cause.

One can only hope.

hey..i also have the first two problems. the b-pillar rattles like something is loose (separate from the infamous seatbelt clicking). my steering wheel also makes a cracking noise over bumps or when i nudge the steering wheel left/right. do you know how the dealer fixed these two rattles for you?

They fixed the wheel sound by replacing some kind of winding mechanism inside.
Problem gone.
Same will pillar posts.

The sqeak still baffles all of us. They heard it, but then it disappears.
