2006 9-5 Build Quality Problems to Share

I have a lovely '06 Aero (called "sport" then) and I have a few problems that irritate me whenever I get into the car---problems my 2004 did not have. Would be fascinated to know if anyone else has noticed the following:
1. Rattles galore, around the sun roof and inside dash. Beginning to remind me of my old classic 900!
2. Ventilated-sport bottom seat cusion gives out fast. I'm a vegetarian at 160lbs. The dealership here in Chapel Hill, NC said they replaced it---seem to think they simply turned it over as I am still sitting on the frame.
3. The fan speed turns on full-blast every time I start the car, which gets annoying. Anyone have a fix for this??
Any thoughts on build quality of the newer ones versus the older ones? Body hardware leaves much to be desired, it seems. Enjoy your 9-5's!
