In 1979 my parents bought two Cadillac's which i still have qq plates on. One of them new had what sounded like a rod knock my parents brought it in a couple of times and they said sometimes they sound like that (we owned an engine shop as i still do) but time went by and the 1 year 12,000 mile warranty expired so as time marched on to now in 2015 with 344,000 miles the noise is still there and it is still running good.
A "minor" setback but gee is sure makes me wonder how did an issue like that get out of the engineering lab in the first place and how many other issues are hidden. Now days every engineering manager is under the gun to push new designs out on schedule. Thats why this is happening. Really no excuse for this.
