Well, I'm not crazy. There was indeed a "creaking noise" coming from the front driver's side wheel base of my brand new Grand Caravan. I've never owned a new vehicle before and I was pretty sure it shouldn't be creaking and moaning with only 24 miles on the odometer.
I was sure I'd heard it, almost from the first time I'd made the 7-point turn I need to make at the top of my driveway in order to get out face first. I knew I'd heard it and I knew it was coming from that wheel. I finally made an appointment and brought it into the dealership. And here I am waiting for it. And here's the mechanic approaching me now.
"That creaking noise you heard was caused by a little tab left by the manufacturer in the wheel bed that was rubbing on the wheel. We took care of it."
Yay! Thank you. I'm not imagining things. I did hear it. And maybe the reason I heard it and my husband didn't is that I have more "sensitive" hearing. Maybe it's good to be very sensitive sometimes, eh?
I can't decide if I'm happier that it's fixed or that it was "broken" in the first place. Hmmm... That's kind of sad.
Oh well. I'd better call my husband.

Enjoy your new vehicle! Keep listening for those little sounds that other people say aren't there. Next time, it could be a bigger deal.
