| Description of the problem | The driver's side b-pillar has a rattle/creak. It's a slight ticking that happens most of the time over uneven roads or when you hit a bump; the rattle/noise happens over the smallest bump. Noise can be heard even on even roads. I've had the car since 1/31/2018 when i purchased it new, and as of today 5/12/18 has 2637 miles. I have noticed the rattle since the weather has been warmer and after the vehicle sits in the sun or outside. The rattle occurs at any speed; 15 mph - 70 mph. I have not taken the vehicle to the dealership since i want this issue documented since it |
