Default Rear seat squeaking
Anyone else has this similar noise coming from the rear seat area? If I lower the center seat back the noise would go away. If no one else sits in the back the noise would not be present.

We have the exact same issue with ours... dealer never can hear it when we take it.. I keep trying however... this video shows it pretty good, so I may use it when I show them on my next visit.

I am planning to take the car in next week for this noise and drivers side rattling. I will definitely show them the video if they can’t hear the noise..

Thanks to a fellow member, I was able to fix the problem. The source of the squeaking was from one of the seat belt buckles. The base of the buckle is attached to a metal rod and that junction is the source of the noise. Simply sprayed some lubricant and the noise is gone!

Awesome - I'll have to try it. It's been driving me crazy for 3+ months.
