There is definitely a fair amount of rattling/squeaking coming from random areas of the interior, from the A pillars to the dash to the back pillars by the back window. This seems to happen mostly in the winter months when the cold makes the plastic less flexible/harder. For the most part the noises are random and cut out eventually, so I got used to it.
Except there was an area from the rubber tray under the heat controls that was persistent and driving me crazy, so the dealership used foam tape behind the 12V panel as it had slightly loosened creating gaps that then caused the noise. It fixed that one area. One would have to foam tape the entire interior to eliminate all the squeaks, and as you can tell by the price ($72) to fix that small area, it's ridiculous to fix the rest. So, I've just learned to live with it.
After a few months the trim started vibrating and making relatively loud rubbing sounds. Which normally would be a minor nuisance,,, unless your girlfriend complains about it incessantly. I have heard of dealerships fixing this with shims and foam.
