Rear upper shock mount bushings wear out, causing a knocking noise from the rear when going over bumps. The Avant's heavier rear end accelerates bushing wear compared to the sedan. Common after 60,000 miles. Repairs typically run $200-$500. Severity: medium.
The retractable cargo cover latch mechanisms on either side break, preventing the cover from staying attached to the D-pillars. The internal spring that retracts the cover also weakens or breaks, leaving the cover hanging loose. Repairs typically run $50-$300. Severity: low.
