I'll bet a lot of people have this problem. I read about this awhile back and no one could resolve this problem. People were suggesting the problem was anything from the shock to the engine making this noise. I opened up the hood one day to check on the squeak and realized the latch mechanism was all cruded up with dirt. That's when I decided to put some grease on it. It was imbarrassing having a car that squeaked when I had someone in the car. The squeaking started out last summer and just recently a few months ago, I tried the fix. Since then...car lacks the humiliating squeak. Who would've thought the culprit was the latch? I didn't for 4 months!

 

Test drove it again today to make sure... No Squeaks!!! You 'da man Syong!

 

I have this problem too -- I thought I was alone out there, but I guess not!

Hmmm...I'll try lubing the hood latch...come to think of it, there's a high chance it is the hood latch since my car got into a crash and they had to repair the front...

 

If the front was repaired, it could be other things besides the latch. But it wouldn't hurt to give the latch a try.

 

Yup, it's the hood latch!! It's really weird as from the cockpit, the noise seems like coming from underneath?? Anyway, squeak it's gone, thanks!!!

 

I had same problem, but i found out it was the spare tire no on correctly or tight enough, so i tighted it and the noice went away.
