Why does the door of a new car make a squeaking noise?

The squeaking noise from the door of a new car is a quality issue, and it is necessary to go to a 4S store to negotiate a solution with the staff. Squeaking or abnormal noises from the car door are generally phenomena that occur in older cars. There are many reasons for abnormal noises from car doors, mainly including lack of lubrication, uncleaned impurities in the door stopper, and door deformation. The specific causes of abnormal noises from car doors are: 1. Lack of lubrication: The car door and body are connected by hinges. If the hinges lack lubrication, abnormal noises will occur when opening or closing the door. Simply lubricate them in time. 2. The door stopper is not cleaned in time: If the door stopper arm, stopper pin, or other parts contain sand, stones, or other impurities that are not cleaned in time, abnormal noises will also occur when opening or closing the door. The door stopper needs to be cleaned in time. 3. Door deformation: If the door is deformed after a collision, abnormal noises will also occur. It is necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store for professional treatment.
I just bought a new car, and the doors make annoying creaking sounds when opening and closing. The possible reasons could be insufficient lubrication on the door hinges from the factory or improperly installed rubber seals causing increased friction. New cars need a break-in period, and if the weather changes significantly, the seals may expand or contract, making the noise more noticeable. Additionally, loose screws or misaligned door lock mechanisms are common issues. A simple solution I tried was applying household wax or silicone-based lubricant to the hinges and seals, which helped a lot. If the noise persists, take it to the dealership for an assembly check—new cars usually get free service. Similar noises often occur in the trunk or sunroof, especially in humid weather, so timely maintenance can prevent worsening problems.
