You're not alone in that observation. The sheet metal on these vehicles is paper thin, especially the front fenders.

My common problem is I don't get to drive it enough

All jokes aside I would say the paint it far too thin and this started wit the 5th Gen models.

Transmission? I have an M6 and it is awesome! No problems with this transmission... ;-)

Mine has been fine otherwise tho, just the 8 speed and a transmission sensor issue. Pain in the ass.

Get a 'real' transmission and the car is nearly problem free... ;-)

On my 17 SS 6 speed, they had to replace a leaking oil cooler, leaking oil pan gasket (both under 30k miles), then at 44,000 a rear differential. I was noticing pinion noise on decel. These rear diffs are not serviceable, so it required replacement. I also had issues with the windshield fogging when using the a/c in the summer, TSB did not fix it, and the infotainment fights me when I have android auto or apple carplay in use. If I use Iheart radio, then try to go back to the FM or XM stations, it reverts back to Iheart. Software did not fix it in my 17 and my 2020 does the same thing. Bluetooth is turned off.

I have the same radio issue that you have. Mine didn’t do that, however , It just recently started. When it does that I disconnect the cable from the phone.

Common problem on all cars: when the fuel gauge hits the letter E, the car stops running. No fix for that yet. Check service bulletins daily.

I do too, but how annoying. That's the primary way I charge my phone too. Oh well, 1st world issues......
