Just financed 2015 200S from dealership 2 weeks ago. 58,000miles beautiful car. Only thing that has caught my attention is a rattling noise coming from the passenger door. This happens when I play music or go over bumps. My warranty with the dealership covers repairs including the computer/sound system and wondered if that would be considered under warranty. Has anyone had this problem? How did you fix this?

Welcome to the forums. I would think that a used car warranty might cover 'adjustments' for the first 30 days. This car is out of the basic FCA factory warranty of 3yrs/36K miles, so any coverage should be provided by the selling dealer.
Read the terms and conditions on your sales contract to see what it says about service within the first 30 or 90 days.
Call your salesperson and get an appointment with the service dept.

Obviously something is loose inside the door. Fist-thumps on the plastic trim panel or simply closing the door may jar it enough to reproduce the noise. If the service tech can hear it, they should know what to look for. Demonstrate the noise if you can, as this increases the chances of success.
Locating the noise source is the first order of business. The repair is usually simple and may not need any parts. Let us know what is found.

Welcome to the forum. I have PMed the OP to see if they respond. They haven't logged back in in about a year & a half.
Locating the noise source is the first order of business. Have a helper drive while you sit in the passenger seat & try to home in on the rattle.
Something loose? Is it metallic or plasticky?
Push/pull on things. Roll down the window. Try to get it to react.

Are you sure the problem is in the door?
They can also rattle: molding on the right front pillar, molding right central pillar (where the belt is), molding above on the dashboard, glove box door, poorly screwed passenger seat, anchor cover on rear shelf panel, molding in the center high-mounted stop...

The only rattle I have noticed on the passenger side, was coming from the plastic rocker panel below the door. I found some of the (special) plastic retaining clips were broken.
