That's a bit disturbing to hear.
Was your DS an early 2016 model?
The serial number (VIN) range might be within the group as I have heard all 2015 and some early 2016 had this issue....
That's a bit disturbing to hear.I thought I would share with everyone that the 2016 DS has the same rattling/ticking noise in the pillar by the driver side window. It sounds like the same issue that plagued the 2015 model. Dealer confirmed and have ordered parts for it. It will take 1.5 days to complete.![]()
Look around this site because there have been other issues about the "hole" on 2016s. I do not know that anyone has received any type of resolution, though.Off topic...slightly, does everyone with a 2016 DS with no 5+2 seating or a tow package have an opening in the rear lower bumper? I brought that up to the service rep and sales person. They noticed it on other deliveries as well. It seems to be cut for those said packages above but I never ordered it with mine. Just seeing if any dealers addressed that out there. I'll try to keep y'all DS nuts posted on this. Happy Holidays, y'all!
I noticed the same thing when I purchased my 2015 DS back in August. My service dept said it was to accommodate installation of a trailer tow hitch. I checked the other unsold DS's on the lot (without the 5+2) and they all had that opening. I don't dig it, though...looks unfinished and the hole looks like it was made with a saw.Look around this site because there have been other issues about the "hole" on 2016s.

I'm taking mine in this Thursday. But from what I've researched so far on the few disco forums, the sound is caused by the tail lamp housing rubbing against the painted surface of the trunk lid (up against the back of the lamp housing). Please update this thread if your dealer resolves it and note what they did to repair it. I'll do the same. Thanks.I have the same squeaking and am having LR check it out Wednesday. It does not make noise while driving, but only when moving the hatch or pressing on the driver's side tail light. It sounds like styrofoam rubbing and squeaking.
I am hooeful they will fix it.
are you saying the dealer performed the fix before you picked up your new DS, and they did this w/o consulting with you 1st? if so i would return that DS as a lemon and get a new one w/o the fix done, live with whatever B pillar tick you get. doing the fix as i explained above can compromise the safety of the vehicle.UPDATE: So I picked up my DS last Wednesday. I was told that they basically they did the same repair for DS 2015's. They removed the roof interior liner trim. Removed the spot wields and re-wielded them all along the front half of the roof. The rattle/ticking has been gone. I could not reproduce it.
you did mean compromise.Are you certain the fix compromises the safety of the vehicle? If so, could you tell me your source of reference.
I was told by JLR that there were no comprises to safety.
