Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

[mbaapk]

Everyone bear in mind that taking them back to the dealer, them taking the car apart to try to fix this sort of thing can just result in fixing one and gaining several more. Where they've pulled things apart, broken clips and plastic panels are looser etc. It can be a never-ending headache.

Good point! Best bet is to carry a passenger to help identify when it happens then hammer whatever is causing it with double sided gorilla tape or a can of jig-a-loo or chain saver.

Update - took it to the dealer yesterday and they agreed there's def an issue with the front drivers seat squeaking and stated they ordered a new seat frame, estimated 2-3 days for the part to come in. I'll report back if this addressed the issue - below is a quick video I posted to point it out.

That's one that would drive anyone crazy ? Good luck, I hope they are right about it being the frame/rail and are able to fix it for you.

If it's not that then it may be a whole new seat.

Not a good start ?

For what its what my 2022 Si driver seat has been creaking for a while too. Might be an 11th gen bucket seat thing.

I have this rattling noise from the driver's side vent and sometimes entire air vents. Sometimes it goes away...

I will try to post a video of this sound too!

I don’t know, the sound is kind of soothing. Reminds me of sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair, sun going down, with a beer in hand and my best hound lying next to me

Thanks for sharing. Hard to see exactly what you are doing there - just shifting left to right? Definitely annoying and if you can't replicate it in the passenger side then likely an issue with just that seat/rail. Hope they find the fix quickly!

Yep - simply leaning left and right into the bolsters triggers the squeaking. The service manager seemed pretty confident a new frame would do the trick. This, coupled with parts readily available, made me wonder if this an internally documented issue.

Maybe it's a common issue with 11th gen Civics in general and they use the same main slider/frame? I wouldn't expect them to do something completely different for the Type R so that's encouraging if they already have a potential solution.

wouldn't want to buy a new honda and them taking everything apart, the car will never be the same.

That's a bit too much of a strippin down lol And why will the car never be the same by just installing a seat frame again? lol

talkin in general. Especially with reports of rev match errors, if its the same as the fk8 they requires the wireharness to be replaced just like in that pic of the odyssey

 

[Boostlag]

if its the seat rails, couldn't you just spray some lithium grease?

This is the same sound mine makes. I was going to take it to the dealer the other morning and I couldn’t get it to make the sound (go figure right), but since that day it has continued to make the sounds. I plan on taking it in soon.

My Elantra N had the exact same issue.
Took it to dealer on three separate occasions, they replaced the whole rail assembly and that did not fix is so I went straight back and told them it was still there.
They then told me that the welding under the seat needed adjusting. Whatever that means.

I’d try WD-40 or some grease before going to the dealership.
