My 2016 CIVIC Coupe already has body rust on the rear quarter panel. The car also makes thumping/creaking noises in the front and rear, and both rear shocks were recently replaced. Radio reception is atrocious. Contacted Honda about the rust issues but no reply.

I really doubt Honda will do anything about the rust. Sorry but no clues an the other things. Could be anything from bearings, sway bar links, or just plain rusted out stuff.

Shocking!  
Pretty callous of them to not immediately address rusting on an 8 year old car-  
🙄
