Default Brand new car door replacement

I purchased a brand new 2018 z51 stingray in WGG a few months ago. I have since day 1 had what i thought was a speaker rattle. I wasnt very concerned and was planning on mentioning it at my next oil change. Long story short the car started to make another noise in what appeared to be the front driver side suspension/ brake. I contacted the dealer and told them about the noise and mentioned the "speaker" issue as well. After a week of being at the dealership my service rep called and says the front left noise is taken care of but the speaker issue was not. They informed me there is nothing wrong with the speaker but i actually need an entire new passenger door because " the door is not sealed properly from the factory". I am extremely frustrated after spending 55,000 and now having multiple issues in the first 3 months of ownership...what is your opinions?

That's what warranty is for. It's great they found the problems and are going to fix them. Once the car is fixed, don't look back and enjoy the car.

Yes - irritating but, they found a problem and are going to fix it for free.

What kind of noise were you hearing? Just curious because my driver side door rattles. But only with bass. It's pretty quiet when I turn the music off.

Very frustrating, but this is the first that I have heard of such an issue, so this is really atypical. Glad to hear that they are dedicated to getting you squared away.
