Default Squeaks/Rattles in my 2012

Hi All,

Just wondering if anybody has had these issues. Whenever I go over a bump I have a rattle coming from the passenger seat area, but its more of a pop/click. I also have a rattle coming from my driver side visor area at highway speeds, I thought that might be the onstar antenna being loose but that is solid. I also have a small squeak coming from the driver side fuse panel area. All not a big deal, but I'm going on a 14hr road trip and they might become an annoyance!

I have a 2012 Silverado extended cab LS with the All Star package.

Thanks!

I’m sorry you are experiencing this issue with your Silverado vehicle. Have you had the chance to take it in for an inspection?

I have not. Unfortunately, as much as I love the truck, I absolutely hate the way GM has handled an issue with this truck and other GM vehicles I had in the past. I didn't even waste my time this time around. I did however find the problem and I resolved it myself within an hour. For those who might have a similar problem, send me a PM and I will let you know what my situation was and what the fix was. If I post it here on a public forum, I don't know if that will help or hurt us. Again, send me a PM and I will be happy to explain.

Default Annoying squeak on passenger side!!!

My truck is the same as yours. My friend just got one three days ago and we both have the same annoying rattle /squeak on the passenger side. Tough to pin point but we both feel it's coming from door area. Any help would be appreciated. We both live in Michigan I was thinking maybe it was because of cold. Sometimes after a while, or so, almost like when inside warms up it goes away.
thanks

I think that it is the seatbelt adjuster. I played around with mine a bit and the sound is less noticeable. Also see if it happens when you have a passenger with their seatbelt on.

No squeak, but I think my driver side wiper bounces just a touch with the right bump in the road. Mine is a '12 2500HD extended cab with less than 700 miles.

It's unfortunate we're having this conversation for how much we pay for our trucks...but try pushing on the a pillars, that's another trick I found
