My car is 7 months old now, recently when I start driving away and the power locks auto-lock all the doors, I hear what can only be described as a dog yelping in pain. I've narrowed it down to the lock or the motor for the lock in the drivers side passenger door. Wish I knew where the spray the WD40. I hate to bother the dealer with it but it happens daily. Repeatedly unlocking and locking several times makes it go away... for awhile. Anyone else with similar issue?

Second issue is with the rear hatch. If you apply a reasonable amount of force when closing the hatch, often it doesn't latch shut. Have to push the button, lift the hatch, wait for the 2nd click, then slam it shut. Could explain the rattling others have described.

Last issue is with the power window on the drivers side. Just installed the PRM CAI and had to pull the (+) battery connector. Once I reconneced it, the front drivers window no longer does the auto-up and auto-down. Any suggestions?

THe dog yelp I get once and a while. I will ignore it until it gets consistant. But to be honest it is just more of a minor buzz to me.

The hatch latching, I've experience but that is due to cargo slightly blocking the hatch from latching.

Well, hopefully the door lock acctuator's aren't on the way out. I know someone here at work who has a 2010 and had to have both sides replaced after getting locked into his car...
