My rear view mirror is the only squeak so far but I haven't even hit 1k miles.

I'm considering taking it apart and wrapping whatever loud plastic is bouncing. Applying pressure between the mirror and the glass fixes it.

I won’t count my current cars not rattling because they are all under 50,000 miles, but they are all quiet too.
Yeah, the 350Z I owned had pretty crappy quality materials on the interior, but it didn't squeak or rattle hardly at all even after 14 years and 90K miles.

OMG, my 2003 350z had terrible rattles in the center console/dash. It was mainly in colder months due to hard plastic.

there’s no way on the dodge charger lmao.
I bet you that your sensitivity to car rattles increases with price tag. Your expectation for 60k is that it’s smooth as butter all around, fact is, the only way to do that is to engineer it to death or make
it heavier.

sit in any performance car, if the exhaust was quiet enough, you’d lose your mind from everything rattling. To reduce rattling the most
common option is to add insulation/padding. Just
look at how the BMW tech solves rattles.

I know they changed out that center console area, probably because of complaints. Mine was a 2006, not that it didn’t also have terrible materials that peeled after a few years if you looked at them wrong. But they were at least pretty quiet. I think there was an occasional squeak around the rear hatch if I remember correctly by the end though. So maybe I should revise my original statement and say “it wasn’t too bad for an old car built on a budget”

Has anyone else had this happen? It's not like I weigh 400lbs or anything that would put excess stress on the seat frame or whatever. It is a little annoying that this is happening on a car I spent $60K for. I get it, its not a Rolls Royce or what have you but, I would expect a little better build quality than this. Warranty maybe?
Same issue here. 6k miles, been doing it for the last 3k and driving me nuts for every mile. Will have addressed when next service is due.
