lemon law is 3 attempts at a fix, and a could not duplicate does not count. you can have 50 issues with your car and still not have a lemon, because each and every one can be fixed if duplicated.
as far as no key goes - there is a service bulletin for a defective smart key control unit that typically manifests itself as a no start problem.
as far as the op being upset they're car has problems: get over it. it's a first year full model change. expect it, and many more problems to happen. for instance - go look at your taillights and the gap between them and the body - you'll probably find there is hardly any gap at some spots and may even see the paint chipped off. oh well. bring it in!
as far as Honda is concerned - we can't fix your car if it doesn't act up on us. what if your gauge is faulty and not the smart key control unit? what if your key is acting up? how about if there is a communication fault? can't duplicate it - can't diagnose it. there's no magic wand to fix it - it is what it is. you'll have to wait for it to have a hard failure and leave you stranded or happen to have it happen for the tech.
as for alignment: my car also drifts a bit, but it's a road crown issue. the same road on the left lane, although it 'appears' level treats my car differently than the right lane. oh well. type of tires will affect it - typically the wider the tread the better the car will drive, but wider tread leads to reduced fuel economy too...
is your rattle interior or exterior?
either way, the dealer should fix it unless they are sure it's your wheels. find another dealer - every dealer is different.
as for Honda quality control - again, it's first year full model change. expect it. want to know more common failures so far? you'll probably cry but be sure it's much better than a GM.
