I had the same problem, took it to the dealer this weekend. The noise was coming from the seat belt buckle itself and they replaced it. It was covered under the original warranty.

Grab the seatbelt buckle and slowly move it around. That's what squeaks. Spray a little bit of WD40 into the mount, and it should go away. Mine's not too bad, so I haven't done it yet, but this is probably the best fix besides taking it to the dealership.

Suspension and seatbelt buckle have nothing to do with each other; they will cover it under warranty assuming you still have it.

WD40 isn't gonna cut it. It'll come back after several weeks or months. Use Lubricant Sprays for rust metals... You can get them at Pepboys or Autozones. It will take care of it for sure. I had the recall done, along with several visits about this issue, the dealer failed to take care of the creaking every single time. And from there, I found my own solution (it's been a year or two now without creaking sound)

I knew it was the seatbelt even before I brought the car in, but yes if your car is still under warrenty they will replace it.

Do you spray inside the belt receptor or at the belt mount (=floor ancher mount ?) to kill the seatbelt noise ?
