Just curious how 16/17 owner's vehicles are holding up? I have a 16 with about 25K and 5 months left of warranty. I've had to take it to the dealership to replace a few parts: bushing, springs etc. I was hearing lots of creaking noises when driving over bumps. The dealer did a warranty replacement and it took care of it, but there were other noises still happening, so I took it back today and they were able to confirm them...got more parts in order. I don't drive offroad or anything like that and although SoCal roads suck...shouldn't cause this.
Also...Since I purchased this vehicle I've hear a rattling noise that has been driving me crazy. Last night I finally figured out where it was coming from! The steering wheel... I was slowly driving in my neighborhood when I heard the noise and noticed that if I pulled the steering wheel towards me, the noise stopped. I told the mechanic at the dealer today and he confirmed it. Apparently it's the air bag module that they're going to replace? I hope that takes care of it b/c it seriously drives me crazy!
And as a side note...has anyone driven the '19? Is it quieter than the 16? In one of the reviews I think they measured the 16 at around 65-67 dB and more recently another channel was measuring the 19 at around 58 dB... but since they weren't using the same instruments, I'm curious?
