Does anyone else have a creaking noise coming from the rear passenger side of the car?

I can’t track down what’s causing the issue. Dealer won’t diagnose because the car has to be at about 85-90mph for it to be present.

I had a little creaking at low speeds over bumps. Lubricating the rear seat hinges with some synthetic spray lube fixed it.

Hi there! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concerns on my end.

I had this on mine, more of a rattle and sounded like a loose bolt. Progressively got worse and very noticeable in track mode. Mine ended up being a faulty shock that and was replaced. Took the dealership a while to find it.

Apparently another common issue is the rear deck where the speakers are can cause noise too. Dealership did this for mine as well.

I actually tried to feel around under the rear deck (I assume you’re talking under the rear window) and couldn’t find anything loose. With your shock, was there excessive play in it or are you not familiar? Would love to take it to the dealer already knowing the issue so it could just be replaced no questions asked.

Other than the noise I didn’t notice anything at first. I finally decided take it in when I started to notice that it didn’t feel quite planted at highway speeds, 80+. It wasn’t real bad but I did notice it.

Hopefully the dealership can diagnose yours quicker than mine. They had it for a month before sending out a Ford engineer that got it and put it on a shaker at the local truck plant and he was able to pinpoint it.

My rattle is somewhere in the passenger rear seat area & it happens at everyday normal speeds. It seems to be getting louder.

Hi there! I can look into your mustang's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your mustang's VIN?

Any updates on the creaking noise? I’ve noticed this on my Dark Horse. Low speed over uneven pavement. Not rough / 4x4 territory, just imperfect.
happens:
passenger or no passenger.
not when cold apparently, first mile was silent each time
across all drive modes
seems to be passenger side, can’t appreciate any loose dash components, or seat.

I have the same issue right rear only with my DH and it's a creaking noise.

I had the same issue and today I had time to check this out and found it was in fact the rear passenger seat hinges. For anyone else who has the same issue just fold down the rear seat, go for a ride and see if the noise disappears, mine did and after lubrication the noise is gone completely with the seat back up. Thanks a lot for the tip.

First off, I’ll be taking her in to the local dealership and requesting a tech ride with me to validate the concern. This will be practically impossible to track down.

I tested Friday, and for me it’s more than just one side, I think it’s not internal, and sounds almost clunky but not as sharp of a sound. I tried recording it and it’s inconsistent.

It’s not something I can feel through the whole car.
My car’s symptoms are
low speed - 30-35mph and under, going over undulating pavement. can happen under braking or no brakes.
Very inconsistent. does it on one road getting to my house, but ... not on the way worse road headed to the range? Or the giant concrete culvert to get to range driveway...

But damn, I did not try anything with rear seats. I did empty the cabin so nothing could be bouncing around. getting into that back seat is going to suck :-(

handling, braking, acceleration is all fine, so I’ll see what comes of it.

I also hear a creaking noise from the right rear seat area of my car. The noise occurs whenever I'm driving at low speeds, regardless of the road conditions. I suspect the noise is related to the rear interior trim panel(just above the armrest), as I can hear the same creak when I press on the panel with my hand. I took the car to the dealership and went for a ride with the repair engineer. He offered to fix the issue by disassembling different parts of the car to investigate, which would be covered under warranty. However, as a fellow sports car enthusiast, he warned me that removing plastic trims might lead to additional noises. Given this, I decided to tolerate the noise for now until I have more time to track down its exact source.

PS: It doesn't sound as loud as in the video, but it is definitely annoying when I try to listen to not-so-loud music and have my windows closed
