Hello,
I hope someone could help identify the cause with she squeak on my PVC. It's Carado made 2023 and it has had load of issues since I bought it. Unfortunately I took a longer trip with the van after only owning it only for couple of months and I have no access to dealer until June.
There has been issues with the build (Insides of the van) on the furniture, with cable lines, lining of the internal walls and with the floor. Most of the issues I have been able to manage and the noises or broken pieces that can be managed without tearing the interior down.
On the body level there has been so far issues with the sliding door (not aligning and not closing) and rear brakes.
So for the issue now that I haven't been able to fix. There is constant squeak while driving even on smooth road, but it's not rhythmic sound so it seems that it's not coming from the rear brakes. The sound can be only heard on move and it can be heard louder while braking and accelerating, but even the constant driving causes small squeak/crackle that sounds that it's coming from the top corner of the sliding door, but sometimes it sounds like it's coming from beneath the bed but on the sliding door side. I have tried driving the door open only small distances and I can still hear the squeak, so I am assuming it's not coming from the door. Also everything else on the sliding door has been lubricated, but not the rollers or the track. In my understanding it's better not to lubricate these pieces so they are rolling properly.
I have also read about the bushings on leaf springs that can wear down, but so far dry or wet weather is not making much of difference. Only when the van sounds a bit quieter is when it has been parked for a while and then I start driving. Usually it takes 1-5km until the sound is back in full extent. This has been also the reason why I am assuming it's coming from the body rather than the interior build.
I heard really loud creak while driving unleveled angle in slow speed about 2 months ago and since then the sound has been present all the time even in smooth road, but I do not see any structural damage anywhere.
I have attached video of it. In the video due the quality it sounds more like rattle, but it's actually quite crisp squeak and the road wasn't that rough.
