sounds like it's coming from under car in rear...already checked spare tire area nothing loose in there...any ideas?? Just popped up...hate to take it in right away....

Check the plastic covers that are right behind the rear seat. Those can become unsnapped and will cause a squeak.

If its not that, it might be a cable that needs to be adjusted under the rear of the car. IIRC, some members have had to had the parking brake cable moved a tad.

FYI there was a service bulletin on the rear liftgate adjustments...they did that and also greased up the latch...PROBLEM SOLVED!! It was a VERY annoying "creaking" sound whenever the body flexed or took the right kind of hit from a bump.

for those currently looking to solve this issue it is a know defect in the parking brake cable. The techs at your dealer have the service bulletin. Mine will be fixed this week. :beer:

PS. there is a new parking brake cable retrofit they will install.

Hi Eric, do you have said bulletin # by chance?

No the service tech found the bulletin within minutes. The service adviser was clueless. It took 5 days to get the part and it was installed super quick.

Same here, had a creak or squeak to the rear, especially with little bumps, greased up the rear latch, and the noise went away.
