Took delivery of a new GT about two weeks ago. Love the car. Range has proven to be better than expected, super fun to drive, WAY better than my Tesla X.
On the bad side... rattles. I have several annoying rattles coming from the car. Rear passenger area, center console, dashboard.
Attempting to get it in to service at my dealer. I did call and got the famous "your the first person to have this problem" and "we don't typically chase down buzzes and rattles".
Just checking to see if anyone else has had an issue. Thank you in advance
Thank goodness, I'm not alone. I just took delivery of a 2022 GT Prestige about 4 weeks ago and after 4-5 days the interior rattles presented. I have a rattle in each front door panel, the rear right door panel, and the instrument cluster pod. It's progressively getting works and it's driving me berserk!
My dealer wants to blame it on the guys that wrapped my car and thus charge me vs it being a warranty repair, but I'm trying to explain that the rattles presented two weeks before the car was ever wrapped. Additionally, what does wrapping the car have to do with the instrument cluster pod??
Unfortunately I didn't report it to the dealer before wrapping because I thought maybe when the car got wrapped that maybe things would get tightened up when the door panels were re-installed, but that didn't happen.
The rattles are from the interior door panel arm rests. A slight squeeze on them, or slight pressure pushing them towards the door quiets them right down.
I looked for screw/bolt access panels to try and tighten them up, but all the bolts for the arm rest must be from the other side.
Sucks!
This is our 7th EV. We were in the Tesla camp at first, but gave up on the build issues after owning 5 of them. We then bought an e-tron 55 Prestige in 2020, which so far is our favorite, most predictable, solid and reliable EV yet!
We've owned numerous Audis and can quite honestly say they've been solid and reliable, so I'm quite surprised and a bit disappointed in our GT, as rattles and creaks have not been our only issue.
