Alas, similar history, but a slightly better outcome.

I took mine back almost every couple of months over the first 15 months for the same types of rattles.

In the end I ditched the run flats, then asked them to give it one last try.
After 3000kms I only have minor rattles and squeaks now, and only over noticable bumps instead of the old trigger of just driving on a rough surface.
It has deteriorated a little, but nothing like it did in the first 100km after each "fix" when I was shod with the dreaded RFT.

I have the 19" wheels, and with the RFT there was no where for the shocks and vibrations to go except into the roof and trims to cause rattles and creaks.
My intent here is to give you some hope.
