I had a similar problem since day 1.
I took it to the dealer, thanx to a member's advice, and drove it around the lot with a technician. He immediately noticed the creaks from my back seat latch. So my car stayed for a day and got it's back seat latch tightned. no problem since~
But some recommeded spraying W4 all over the car, I don't see myself doing that and I think it's a bad DIY choice. Best of luck.

But thanks for the feedback as to what is causing this issue and how to get rid of it.
