Hi everyone! I bought a 2020 SE a few months ago with 4K miles on it. I noticed a few months ago a squeak around the dash area when I hit uneven surfaces. I brought it to my mechanic and it didn’t make the noise so he couldn’t hear (just my luck). The squeak still happens to this day. When I say squeak, it’s like a squeak and a click. But it DOESNT happen when I turn the wheel, so I know it’s not something to do with the steering column. I’ve had no issues at all handling the car. It only happens on uneven pavement and it sounds like it’s inside the car. The only way I can copy the sound is by pushing my steering wheel as far into the dash as possible with a little bit of force, and it will copy the little squeak/click. Has anyone noticed this on their car or have any thoughts on what this could be??? Sometimes it doesn’t happen and sometimes it does, it’s not super loud, and my passengers say they never hear it. I think I’ve just become so accustomed to listening out for it. Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

I'd be careful... my rav4 did this and after a few seasons from cold to warm everything settled and doesn't make any noise ... my Corolla does the same so I shall wait.
Mother in law had same issue on her new accord (my Acura did too) she kept taking it in and all they do it was take everything apart and put foam tape then reinstall. It made it worse everytime she went back the sqeak turned to a rattle and it drove her nuts.

Yes that's good advice. It will settle in as it goes through its first cold and warmup cycles in winter's wildly fluctuating conditions.
My experience with squeaks and rattles is to unfortunately let them be. Trying to fix the problem makes it worse half the time....
FWIW my 2020 Corolla rattles and creaks from the dashboard when its cold out too, stops after the cars warmed up inside, its just the plastic slightly changing shape and flexibility.
