Check the DIY section.

You can put heat shield around center counsoule.

You can also put shield under the car. However I hear ther eis very little room there.

 

I had the same issue as well, took it to the dealer the dealer they fixed the issue under warrenty

 

It just might be really helpful if maybe you told us what parts they replaced or any work they did.
