12000 mi Rear suspension produces noise when driven at low speeds and suspension actuates. Condition is especially pronounced at low speeds when conditions are wet or when it is raining. 
Replacing rear shocks solved suspension noise problem. Upper shock bushings failed according to the tech. Strange for a car less than a year old.

Dealer replaced all 4 OEM Conti Pro tires because they were at wear bar so that we have good traction in winter. Also wife heard an intermittent and hard to diagnose thumping sound and dealer replaced rear shocks. 
6000 mi Creaking sound from right rear suspension 
7000 mi Car continued to make creaking/rattling sound. Determined it was tie-rod end. Took 2 days. 
3000 mi The rh lower control arm ball joint boot was installed incorrectly on the ball joint and, as the ball joint wasn't removable, they replaced the control arm/ball joint assy.

No repair - dealer unable to diagnose. Car 'clicks' when turning - will have to return car to dealer to re-evaluate as cars do not click when you turn. 
32240 mi When reversing the vehicle at slow speeds and turning (such as backing and turning out of a parking space), the car made a clicking noise as you turned the wheel. First inspection - dealership said the floor mat was hitting the steering column, making the noise. Second time in, they could not replicate it.
