2012 Chrysler 300 4dr Sedan

292-horsepower 3.6L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD

9000 mi Passenger side door interior was loose. Was found to be missing a clip in the center. Clip was added. Door now creaks and buzzes. Feels cheap. Paint bubbling and peeling from front and rear bumpers. Paint shop unable to fix. Waiting on word from dealer for solution. Either A pillar, front dash on driver side, or something else causes loud intermittent rattles. Up to volume level 15. Could not be reproduced by shop tech. The car is very annoying to drive at times. 
10000 mi Left call with body shop at start of the month regarding scheduling a solution to paint peeling off of bumpers. Body shop never returned my call and was unable to see my car during the 4.5 days the dealer had it. Dealer replaced seat back. Seat is now much more solid. No longer feels or sounds partly broken. Problem is resolved. Passenger side door that was previously fixed due to being loose became noisy and rattled with music. Door arm rest sounds very cheap and crunchy when touched. Defroster grill was replaced. Door rattle is now gone, but armrest is as stated. Dash rattle not duplicated, but car was doing it when I picked it up. Car seems to be doing it less frequently as time goes on. 
14000 mi

Paint was falling off of the front bumper when bugs would hit the vehicle during normal driving. Rear bumper was starting to bubble in places. After my 3rd visit on this issue the dealer finally submitted a warranty claim to Chrysler. Instrument cluster over hang is starting to come loose. Causes noticeable rattle. One can cause significant motion by touching it. I looked at other used versions of this car at a different dealer they do not do this. Passenger side front door still sounds cheap. Crunches when you use the arm rest on it. Dressing rings on the instrument cluster seem loose and another possible source of rattles with the instrument cluster. My steering wheel fabric is starting to tear possibly from my keys on my belt. I have never had this issue with any other vehicle. 
14600 mi Rattle in front dash and loose instrument cluster shade/overhang. Front dash board was completely removed flocking was installed around all fasteners. Noise has come back after driving. Trunk covering is missing clips and hanging down. Drilled holes for additional clips and re-secured trunk liner.

59700 mi Ongoing issues with noise and rattles coming from the headliner (passenger's side), instrument panel (passenger's side). Never ending interior noises due to unsecured wiring harness and plastic to plastic rubbing. Trunk deck lid fills with water every time it rains or is washed. Water ingress is through poor fitting gasket on decklid mounted brake light. Drainage holes at each of the four corns of decklid were sealed and did not allow water to exit.
