So my 2015 has 2300 miles on the clock and since new (320 miles) the steering wheel has been off center to the right about 4 degrees. I've brought the car to the dealership twice to get the wheel centered and each time they tell me it's good to go and what do ya know it's exactly the same. They keep insisting that the car is aligned, to which I reply that the car doesn't have an alignment issue, the wheel just needs centered. So the car is in service now hopefully getting fixed. In addition to this I hear/feel a strange farting rubbing sound when I press the brake coming from the pedal. Third, when driving in the rain I hear a loud creaking when driving over speed bumps that sounds like control arm bushings. Anyone else have these issues on your brand new car?

Bringing this thread back from the dead. My Touring with 300 miles seems to have the same issue, hoping the dealer can fix it.

Weirdly enough. I traded my old 2015 lease in and rolled into a 2018 2.5 Touring MT hatch. Love the car, but sure enough, clunking from all 4 springs when hitting dips in the road or parking lot entrance bumps/speed bumps. The two front sound the loudest.

Luckily no clunking for me. I did however have to adjust tire pressure as the dealer delivered it to me with 42 psi all around. Now at 36 psi and it's 100% better. Might want to check to make sure there are no spring blocks under there and then take it to the dealer so they can torque everything down.

Will check for spring blocks, that would make sense considering I’m hearing it all around. Was just gonna wait until first oil change to bring it into the dealer. My tires were aired up pretty high as well I adjusted to 36 psi and that made a big difference for me also. Dunlop’s are still crap though.
