"I took delivery of the car with a tire defect. Dealer replaced one wheel. Mostly solved, still a very slight imbalance. Clearly, no quality or inspection at factory."

"A manufacturing defect on the B pillars has resulted in a constant vibration rattle that transmits through the steel door frames and roof. Dealer couldn't solve, I hired an engineer to try and diagnose. Body flex of a passenger present eliminates noise from top of pillar/roof junction. This is notably loud and distracting. I will be dealing in this brand new car and taking the loss in value as the same problem has started on the driver side pillar as well. Hear it for yourself....
