During last winter, a loud rubberised squeak/knock emanated from the rear suspension on the driver's side, in particular when going over speed humps. When the warmer weather arrived, the noise completely disappeared. Except on ONE single occasion, mid July, when I'd driven for miles and miles in very heavy rain, the same noise returned as I travelled over the speed bumps near my home.
The car was due for its first service in September 2025, so I reported the situation to the dealer to take a look. However, as anticipated (because the noise wasn't evident throughout the summer), they said they couldn't find a problem; in essence, I suppose, there wasn't an issue on this day, as the noise was in its "silent" period?
Yesterday, after driving in torrential rain, going over the speed humps near my home, the same old squeaky rubberised NOISE has RETURNED. First time since last winter. Today it's still there. In a couple of weeks, the car is going in for the seat recall fix. If the noise is still happening, then I'll ask them to investigate it if they can. If not, I'll go back in the winter when the squeak is sure to be there.
