Hello All - No major problems after 2000 miles on a 05 auto. I really love this car, especially the great gas mileage after my last car. I hope everyone else is enjoying the car much as I am.

One thing I noticed is a squeak coming from the drivers side wheel. I first noticed it after parking the car in my garage and closing the door. When the door close shut, the front wheel was squeeking like a mouse. I can kick the front tire or shake the car and it would squeek. I park in a garage a work so I rolled my window down to see if I can hear it. Sure enough, the same wheel squeeks when I am going around the garage. I don't think its the brakes since it doesn't make a difference if I apply the brakes or not. With the car parked with engine off, I can duplicate the squeek by shaking the car or the wheel. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

did you ever figure out what that was?...there is a "chirping" thread that was started. wonder if it is the same thing...sounds like a cricket?? thanks.

 

Mine squeaks, when you apply brakes in very low speed. And it started coming after i washed the car after i bought it. So i assume its brake dust.

In your case i am afraid its the suspension. Since you get the sound just by shaking your car.

 

I have the same problem as the OP. This is the only thread I can find with the same problem even though it's old. Anyone know what the cause might be?
