I've had the car for 5 months now and notice a noise when I turn left or right sometimes. Sounds like something is rubbing under the car. I don't know what it is, but was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I'm getting ready to take it in.
Another thing is the support arm above the driver side door rattles and the damn light dome on the ceiling rattles in the back. I expected more buying this car but hopefully they'll fix it.
Really concerned wtih the wierd noise from turning. It doesn't always happen and I never pin the wheel.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Read once about 'bump stops' (not sure if that's the correct name.) that are placed in the springs to limit suspension travel during shipping, are sometimes left in place by accident, and will cause some sort of noise if not removed........but I'm not very sure of the story, maybe there are others who know more.

I noticed, some times when I don't use it for many days and it's cold (autumn or winter), a sort of rub from the rear seats . But after 5 minutes of use it disappears .

Thanks for all the information out there.
I'm going to set up a service visit and have them check it out. It may be the pumps that I hear then, because it's at low speeds only.
The rattling is something else though. Gotta defintely get that fixed.
Thanks again fellas!
