The car interior has many plastic parts. It sounded like a creaking pirate ship when driving down the many poorly maintained roads in my area. To fix the problem lots of strips of flexible material were inserted in between parts of dash.
The sunroof switch began operating unreliably--sometimes it would open the first time pressed and other times you would have to press the switch repeatedly. Dealer diagnosed switch as defective on 21 Jul. Part on order since then!

Back in June I took the car to the dealership telling them the sun roof button wasn't responding n I couldn't close it. Of course it worked so they refused to replace the part. I went back in August, same thing. This month I couldn't close the sun roof and drive immediately to the dealership, didn't wait for an appointment. Three guys tried to close the sunroof. They finally honored the enhanced warranty on that part. Geesh. Anyway, it's fixed finally.
