There were squeaks and rattles coming from the rear deck lid and center console area (noticed at delivery and continued). Most of the squeaks were completely addressed. There was also a bent piece of metal in the trunk, and that was unbent. Dealer damaged rear deck lid on first (and only other) repair. Ordered new deck lid and rechecked for squeaks/rattles after installation. Some squeaks still present, but not serious ones.
