    Did you ever find the source of this problem?

    I have the exact same problem on a 2015 with 12000 miles. It only does it after I park after driving. If I let it sit for 2 hours, the noise is completely gone.

    It has been extremely hot since I started noticing it, and just like you it's only pushing the car forward and back that makes the noise, no amount of side to side.

    EDIT: Actually, after paying closer attention, it only takes 25 minutes or so for the noise to completely disappear after the car is parked when I push on it.

    I have the same squeak in park on my ‘13 Prius. Did anyone ever figure out the culprit?

    Did anyone ever find out anything about this?

    My Prius squeaks after getting to operating temperature and then parked. After driving and parking the car it squeaks in place. Only does it when it’s hot and once it cools down it goes away. If I rock it back and forth gently you can hear the squeak. If I use the emergency breaks it goes away and does not squeak when trying to rock it back and forth. Sounds like it’s coming from the front center, maybe where the exhaust connects to the engine? If anyone know what this is and can help please do. It would be greatly appreciated. Car squeaks if parked while the engine still on or off as long as the car was driven for ~15mins. If I stop by a drive thru and I shift around in the car I can hear it do the squeak. Once it cools down and is cold it does not make any noise. To listen to the squeak please see here:
