I've had an intermittent squeak at low speeds. Thought it was my controll arms starting to go after reading all the issues here. Turns out it was the hood latch where the loop on the hood catches on the latch mechanism. A tiny dab of grease, and the squeak is GONE. Blissful silence once again.

I need to try that for my 2008. I have a tiny faint squeak also. I adjusted the 2 rubber hood stops one each end but I still get the faint squeak.

I tried adjusting the rubber hood stops on mine too, actually made the squeak worse, that's when I realized that it was the latch.

Well, my faint squeak is still there. Still hunting. I hear it over bumps. I could be the brake dust shield or exhaust system moving a little. My suspension is good although my struts have never been replaced and I'm at 92K miles. They may be worn, the ride is a little floaty. No leaks from the strut
