I have a creaking noise in the back, I have taken the car in the dealer 3 times now and they can not fix it.
1) replace the struts
2) said the back seat was making the sound so they put some padding on something.
3) nothing replaced, but notice another car has the same creaking.

I only get it when the body and frame flex. Like going up a steep curb and wheels turning.
Hyundai has a tech coming out to look at it.
Can you let me know if you have the same problem ?
I have a 2010 ET SE with sunroof

 

Have the tech check the welds inside the cargo area. These are spot welds. On some production runs they tried to use less welds, hence the creaking noise.

 

same noise, along with hatch creak, already adjusted once,
As well, struts banging too. time for a service

 

oh yeah, headliner starting to creak, warranty gods... fix her up!!

 

So how does this get fixed? Do they tac on more welds?

 

I was told they installed some "small clamps", but I have not had a chance to look. Whatever they did, it really worked.

I will try to investigate and give an update in a few days.

 

Archtop, I'd also be interested in your repair experience update. My ET does the same thing--when it's cold. I never hear it when it's hot outside. It happens when I turn 90 degrees to go up my slightly inclined driveway.

 

Same creak on my ET turning into a sloped driveway.

 

Mine continues to make creaking noises when turning on a slope such as my driveway which is a 38% grade, but I really feel that this is normal.

The problem I had was creaking and groaning on flat roads and even on level parking lots. It took awhile, but they got it fixed.

 

Mine creaks when turning on inclines...mainly right hand turns...also have the creaking/rattling from the back end. Unbelievably noticeable when going ~10 mph. Doesnt even have to be a bumpy surface.
