No but have you tried spraying some WD-40 or something on it?

Sounds like a warranty issue to me.

I bet the creaking is coming from the coiled spring on the hinge , a shot of white grease should resolve it but I agree with 73shark, let the dealer address it that way its documented should it be something else that comes back.
