The rear rattle IS a common problem. The good news is it's an easy fix. The rattle comes from the latch of the rear hatch. There is a TSB out for the dealer to fix it for free (they replace the latch with one that has rubber around it). Or, you can do what many have done and just wrap electrical tape around the lock catch.
