Default new 2012 q5 rattling and squeaking away

Finally got my q5 today. Beautiful inside and out. I test drove it fresh off the truck yesterday because i wanted to make sure it didnt rattle or the tranny didnt stutter like other members have complained about. It seemed fine. Well I come in today and sign the cotracts and drive off the lot. Go around the block and I'm hearing all kinds of weird squeaking coming from rear passenger side window/seat?

the salesman totally hears it when i pick him up for a ride after u turning back to the dealership

Good lord.. did i really pull the trigger on this thing?

I put in the beatles LOVe dvd audio and the q5 cant play it. I put in another dvd audio and it plays well sounds great but you cant change the tracks while driving.

nav is super clumsy and almost not worth the effort. might just use my phone w google maps and voice prompts for finding things unless they are preset.

Not a thrilling start to say the least

the dont get this squeak fixed after 3 tries this thing is going to be a lemon jiuce

IIRC, I think the voice prompts let you change tracks, give it a few days to learn the car and maybe it will grow on you....

Maybe the beatles cd is too old to play in a modern car (like me )

is the cd an original, check the region it is set for....

Make sure the spare tire is tight. The sound radiates off the back window, making the sound hard to pinpoint.
