#6 - I think so. I have seen a variation with different brands of fuel. I am not bothered by this one at all.
#18/19/20/21 - I think these are all related. These are all noises that come from the rear of the car. You can apply many of these fixes mentioned, but the noise will go away, then come back.
The car started noise free. But, would get the pop at slow speeds exiting driveway. This no longer happens.
The crackling/popping noises now happen at speed. When it is rattling, the noise can be modulated with throttle. It also seems to vary with temperature as well. The drive to work in the morning is quite, but rattles like crazy after sitting in sun all day.
I have also noticed that if you apply pressure to the metal framing in the trunk, you can get the metal to crackle. But, only once. And, I can never get the same area to crackle again. Very odd.
I have not taken it to the dealer yet, but have discussed it with them. they are willing to perform the TSB when I bring it in for the 3K oil change. Not convinced this will fix it, but worth a shot. I do know I will eventually get this one figured out. Otherwise, I will not own this car for the long haul.
I really like this car. I really like what this car is about, but the rattle is really annoying.
