Warranty About to Expire - List of things to check?

[KingJames]

My warranty is about to expire....

so with that said I wanted to know if there was a standard list of things to check so I can see if the dealership will replace some parts/fluids for free.

Thanks for the help guys.

Rattles, yours seats. See if they rock.

Valve cover spark plug seal leak: Check this before your powertrain warranty is up!

The dealer will fix rattles under warranty?

I know I took mine in for the TSB on the back window screws...
They claim they fixed it but it still rattles..

I thought that is the only one you can actually claim under warranty? Cause I have quite a few rattles as I am sure most others do as well...?

this is a good thread keep it going man because mine about to expire too.

I just had the rear axle click and front seat rails replaced on mine (rocking driver's seat)

Do you have AL trim? Is it yellowing above the ashtray? My dealer just replaced that for me.

Look up the list of TSB's and see if they apply.

I also just had my passenger seat replaced because the PASS AIRBAG OFF feature never worked right without a person in the seat. I was surprised they agreed with me and ordered me half a seat basically.

My warranty expires in Feb, and so far i've prob had almost 10K in work done. (all under warranty)

-both compression rods
-new driver's airbag, airbag harness and side airbag sensor
-new seat rails
-new console trim
-new pass seat lower cushion assembly
-2 new TPMS sensors

Same here, I am pretty sure they never installed the screws they just put some silicon or some crap, since its happening again to me as well, and the mechanics attitude when I told him he did not fix it was horrid he drove it back and said he put some more silicon and it stopped rattling for a few months but... I am going to take it to a nearby dealer this time and watching them do it.

if you have a coupe..get the window motor looked at

i don't know your trim, but i've had:

- fuel filler baffle
- rear axle click
- oil cooler leak
- both valve cover gaskets
- manual transmission
- clutch
- drivers seat track
- brakes (prior to 3 years)

that's all i can think of. there's more, but i can't remember right now.

You guys have had a lot of issues with your cars... holy moly.

Mine has been solid. Aside from the rear axle click, some rattles, and a rocking drivers seat (didn't start until after warranty expired....), everything has been mint....

My warranty is out this 16th. Kinda worried :/

In my 04AT, I've had done:
front brakes at 34K miles (over 3 years, though)
front seat, twice, 2 different issues. (rails done under warranty, it then jammed into place out of regular warranty, so I paid $100 ded on extended warranty).
4 new tires at about 40K miles.
recall on fuel tank.
Replaced battery just before year 5.
One wheel alignment done with new tires. Old ones got cupped on a trip, which shortened the life of the tires.

I've had an intermittent problem with the outside temperature sensor, but they didn't fix it.

Obviously, some of the above is just routine wear items. I would like brakes to last longer, and tires, but they are symptomatic of the car being a "sports sedan". Rear brakes still OK at 63K.

Never had a problem with oil. I think that, when I've checked it and seen it low, it was likely not completely filled. I can drive an additional 2000 miles with no change in the level.

-Passenger side door panel replaced (leather part was coming off)
-Driver side window motor
-Moonroof lubed

-Rattling that comes and goes

You know, I've notice my seats rocking when I come to a stop recently. I was thinking about taking it into the dealer at some point (still under warranty). Is this a common problem? Is there a tsb on it? What's normally has to be done to fix it? (I like to know these things before I go to the dealer)

Thanks all!

^Yes its common and yes get it fixed.
