It sounds like it's my drivers door that squeaks quite often when I accelerate, brake, and go over bumps... Been doing that since I got it, figured it was just something new breaking in, but 1900 miles later and it's still happening.

Going to have the dealer check it out at the first oil change, but just wondering if anyone know exactly what it is, and maybe a fix..

Its caused by FLORIDA SPEED BUMPS...

No really you have more patience them me. I would have been to the dealer after 300 miles

What part of Florida?

Good luck...

Orlando, and I usually have the music up enough so I don't really hear it, but lately I've been using the handsfree calling more and it's quite annoying then.

I've been meaning to ask here...see if anyone else had this problem. I am thinking some plastic/rubber trim around the door is causing it, but not sure.

Try lubing the hinges and latch with some white lithium grease.

I have the same exact squeek. It happens with the drivers door open or closed when going over even small bumps (so I don't think it's the door). I haven't had the problem looked at yet. I'm suspecting it's the body mount just below and to the rear of the drivers door. This squeek issue has been discussed on this forum, but I can't remember what thread. Someone also mentioned the parking brake cable which runs under there. I'll post if and when I get mine fixed in the next few weeks. Anyone have more to say about this?

I lubed the body mounts, and it seemed to help with noises in general. I don't know if this would help with this problem.

My H3 has had for the first 5000 miles a rattle from around the driver's seat. I have put electrical tape on everything under the dash and seat I could find to stop it. It is now gone because I rolled the window all the way down and then back up. My guess is that the power window drive is a plastic cable that can rattle against the door depending upon where it sits. Dropping the window all the way down evidently relocated where the cable was or some other cabling in the door.
Or at least that is my theory of today until it reappears....
