I've experienced this same problem on other vehicles. Tech recommended GM Silicone Grease P/N 10131290. He advised to work in a very thin coating. While likely not a long term solution, a single application has lasted for over 1 year now.

Some minor niggles, too. Mainly interior rattles all over the place. And yes my seat is creaking, too. I've also had a CE light come on (faulty Oil filler cap) and now a "Cooling System Error" flashing all the time, but temps have stable and within normal operating range at all times leading me to think it's just the computer talking to itself.
These haven't even come close to ruining the ownership experience so far. It's a bad *** cagefighter in a Hugo Boss suit. The eccentricities are tolerated.

My speedometer is faulty. Every time I know I'm going 55 mph I look down and the damn thing says 90 to 100. I'm sick of it and thinking about returning it as a lemon. Maybe I will buy a vette. Chevette or NoVa. It's shameful. My 9-year old says the car is a piece of junk and asks why didn't I get a Lotus, Ferrari, Nissan, or Mustang. I can't take it anymore.
Anytime one throws down good money on an emotional purchase I think expressing some disappointment when there are quality issues is not unwarranted. It has has happened to me but did not, ipso facto, cause me to disdain the marque or the car. It did not seem to me that the OP slammed either P-cars in general or his 991 in particular. Give him a break.

I guess it's just me but my view is the OP stated his issues - not in any way suggesting a major critique of the 991 - so this piling on seems more defensive then amusing.

Thank you for your support. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I did not slam on the marque nor the car itself since I understand defects may exist on a new car. I just wanted to express my disappointment that's all. I work at American Honda Motor Co., and in our customer service department, customer calls in to express their disappointment with relatively new warranty issues and we empathize with them and even offer them a goodwill gesture!

The dealership added some felt to reduce the noise which it did so I'm happy.

The door card they ordered to replace the culprit got scuffed in shipping, and another new one was ordered and installed. So despite the time it all took, I really on reflection can't fault either the dealer or PCNA.

Wow, I have driven my 991s 16k + miles since June 2012 and other than one service campaign for the 7MT, a faulty XM antenna and three flat tires, it has been perfect. And I'm sure glad my dealer talked me into buying the tire insurance as the 2 back and 1 front tires I have gotten so far would have cost almost twice what I paid for the tire insurance.

My 991S coupe, after three days of ownership, threw two errors yesterday, one for an inability to read the oil level (which was previously fine), and then shortly thereafter another stating that the oil temperature sensor was faulty. To the shop it goes. The water temperature was fine, so I'm not overly concerned, but this is not what I wanted in a brand new car.

this is the only problem i have in the s triple blue cab, running 95-130 around the west 13,000 miles, over 1,000 miles on dirt, another 2,000 on gravel. the f.g thing is almost perfect, i have no plans to get a turbo [then s] like i usually would. Sun likes it too, yes he's usually this dirty.

Now that's a good huntin' dawg. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Was just at the Porsche dealer to drop off for annual maintenance. According to the dealer, my ride has no open campaigns (April 2012 build). Oh well, guess I have nothing to whine about.
