In regards to the noise you hear...that is the soft-close feature double checking that the door is actually closed. As you can see in the info below...when the door is MANUALLY closed (or slammed)...effectively bypassing the soft close feature...the system is designed to check that the door is closed:
i honestly didnt expect this to be an issue when the car is still quite new

@ 1200 a repair 3 times would have made me pissed.

now i know what the issue is i will decide if this is something i will tackle or pay someone to do. i may wait a while to see if a better replacement comes along

thanks guys!
