I had a creaking sound from the front end and it sounded like the front sub-frame was slightly loose. I had my local dealer try to diagnose the problem and they called me back after having my car all day. They told me they needed to keep the car because they didn't know where the noise was coming from but they did hear it.
I told them that I have a background in auto mechanics (which I do) and to please check the front engine subframe bolts. They did and said they were in fact loose and tightened them and the noise is gone.
It is not abnormal for bolts especially suspension bolts on a new car to loosen up
and cause trouble.
