Help please...strange noise.....

I've got a strange noise coming from the passenger rear right side. Many times when I go over a bump or take a turn I hear a creaking sound. The dealer has no clue. Anybody else have the same problem?
Note: when someone sits back there the sound isnt there.

Re: Help please...strange noise.....

Did you check that the seatback is locked in and that the seat is "seated" all the way down? Sounds like something is rubbing if the weight of a person causes it to stop. Good luck!

It's the back seat latch. Put a little tape on it
