2015 Gmc CANYON problems and owner complaints

STEERING WHEEL RATTLES AND IS DISTRACTING TO DRIVER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH NO CURRENT SOLUTION AS OF 4/27/15. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HAND PRESSING DOWN ON THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG COVER/HORN TO PREVENT THE RATTLE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN A WEEK OF BUYING THE VEHICLE. (A 2015 GMC CANYON SLE LONG BED 4X2) DRIVING WITH A DISTRACTING NOISE IN THE VEHICLE CAN BE DANGEROUS AND PRESSING YOUR HAND OVER THE AIRBAG COVER IS ALSO DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. *TR
