When I start driving the car, I get a small squeek behind what sounds like the middle of the dash. Has anyone else had this problem? I know it's hard to guess what it might be, but if someone else has had this problem, what was it that caused the squeeking? I can only hear it when driving. Only way I could figure it out is to take out the A/C control knobs and look back there.

Does it increase with speed?

No, just squeeks the same whether I'm going slow or fast. It's gotta be something loose. Sounds like metal on metal.

If it squeaks going over bumps and turns, you might want to look into getting a Maximum Motorsports strut tower brace. That should tighten up the front some.

Seriously!! I can't hear any squeaks b/c of the rattling hatch lid.

haha ive de-squeaked my car, its pretty easy really. I had the same squeak behind the dash, and mind turned out to be a piece of the plastic dash behind the gauge cluster rubbin on the steering rod. I just shoved a piece of rubber in there and no more squeak! Other common squeaks ive found is the plastic cover that goes over the a/c and heat controls, the armrest thing on the back of the center console, and the plastic cover on the hatch. goodluck.

My car used to be squeak free until this little, yet annoying, squeak came along. I just need to figure out a way to find out what is actually squeaking back there.
