I think some people would be willing to leave with this but I paid a lot of money for this car and simply won't accept that every time I lock the car from the outside I hear these rattles. The volume does not even need to be at the 1/4 mark for those panels to rattle
I've brought it to the dealer once about this. They claimed they were going to fix it. But then returned the car saying they tested on other vehicles and found it to be normal behavior...

Normal or not, I still would like it fixed. It sounds awful. They keep saying they can't do anything about it because it's the design of the vehicle.

If you get it fixed, definitely let us know what the dealer had done. I would love to show my dealer what other dealers performed in order to resolve the issue.
Well that's not encouraging news

Wish me luck I am going to need it
