Heat shield failure. Broke loose and rattles. Has been replaced twice prior under warranty. This time they just used some larger after-market washers.
Ripped off heat shield between vehicle floor and exhaust pipe. Flimsy construction, vibration led to cracking then failure of shield to be properly held in place.

The heat shield above the exhaust pipe had 2 tabs break off and the shield fell onto the exhaust pipe and rattled constantly. I am still waiting for the part to come in so the dealer can replace it. I have been waiting for a week so far.

Bracket for the muffler broke, apparently very rusty. Which is worse since, supposedly the dealer checked for rust. Took to a mechanic I trust, cost very little
Heat shield on exhaust was rattling. They bolted it back on. This problem has reoccurred, they had to bolt it on again. Driving through a snow storm on a freeway has been the cause both times. The metal is too flimsy to handle the snow.
