Strange fix for trunk rattle

Hi all,

During the last 12 months, I've owned a 2010 35D and a 2011 35D. Both had horribly loud trunk rattling, that started at around the 2,000 mile mark.

I'm running 20" 214s on the 2011...

Unknown at this time. I "may" know this coming monday. They may replace it with a 3rd vehicle.

:-) Not sure about that, but it might be time to ditch the 35D and move onto a gasoline model.

It's becoming quite obvious that for whatever reason the 35D is suffering from problems the gas...

UPDATE to those interested:

Day-33, still no vehicle. To those who have mentioned there is no sign of a fire, that is incorrect, and I was incorrect in stating that (if I insinuated that), it...

The problem there is that one has a legal duty to attempt to mitigate damages to a vehicle. It's written within the language of most warranties.

I guess what I'm asking is this:

1) Having the vehicle repurchased is a simple affair. After 30-days the express warranty is breached in California, and I'll certainly pass that date.

2) We...

You're looking at $8k to $10k without a doubt. $2k wouldn't get you very far. The parts are incredibly expensive. I agree with the poster who said you should go to a shop that deals with exotics,...
