I've heard of that also. It's usually nothing that happens to the
powertrain or suspension. I've heard of body panels being replaced though
due to unloading damage. I've also heard of glass being replaced for the
same reason. Sometimes when they do that they don't get the parts lined up
right or seals that seal correctly. Those things are covered under warranty
but the consumer is usually never told what caused the problems to begin
with.

If what my dealer told me is correct, you/they don't have to disclose any
damage unless the car has officially been declared totaled, in which case it
would show up on the VIN report anyway.
Did it come with any kind of warranty that would cover the problems you're
encountering?
I do remember a few years back, some doctor down south ordered a custom
$250,000 Benz (or something along those lines) from Europe, and won a couple
million bucks in a lawsuit because they'd scratched the door in transit and
repainted it without telling him. That might be a special case, though,
being custom made. I thought it was a ridiculous award!
