For mine, it is the rear seats. It will squeak very loudly when I go over hump and uneven roads, especially when someone is sitting behind. So I bought a silicon spray from NTUC car mobile section and found two holes underneath the seats from when viewed from the boot. So I spray spray but haven't drive out to see if the sound disappeared or not.

For the rear seats, did the eek eek sound appears when you try to shake the seats yourself?
Does the eek sounds from the floor of the rear seats? If it is, most likely you having the same prob as mine :)

The eek sound comes from the seat. Will only appear when 1. Car go over hump even w/o pax and 2. Ferry pax behind. My driver seat also have. When the car exit from thr hump then the sound comes. Something like bcos due to weight then the leather seat make the noise..

i had similar ik ik sounds inside the cabin whenever car go over uneven grounds. sent car to TCM twice to resolve but still there, so 3rd time decided to leave car there for 2 days so that they can sort it out properly.

when collecting car, was told that sound is from the dashboard and seats (front/rear) area where the plastic joints rub against each other; so they did insulation and applied moisturizer to affected area. sound is gone for the time being and hope it stays that way.

tot made in japan cars are supposed to be better... never had this problem with my old corolla  :crying:

Did they charge you for that? Like labour cost etc? My warranty about to end so better take the hassle to go down and change whatever I could. My gear when engaging to diff gears also like abit not smooth. Duno izzit normal anot?...

no charges... under warranty. maybe becoz i reported the problem few days after collecting car. TCM worked on it 1st time during the 1k servicing.
