Joe this is a very strange request, it's your car you should know if there's
anything wrong. You might check the obvious....brake pads, other than that
you're good!

door lock actuators? gas tank lock? I dunno man, it is kinda an odd request as Gary said. I'd just go through and check everything if I was you and make sure everything is functional.

Does the warranty cover the labor cost for inspection?

How about checking to see if your valve covers are leaking oil into your spark plug chambers.... This might be covered under powertrain, but I would check your number 6 cyl.
Make sure your auto up windows are working.
Make sure your power seats are working thru all settings.
Might want to complain about your AC...check to see if any lines are leaking

Does anyone know does the dealer charge me for labor cost if they found nothing wrong to my car. For example, i want them to check my rear axle, so i gotta tell them that i hear squeak noise from the rear axle which is really not the problem. Do they charge me if there's nothing wrong? Thanks.

ya the rear axle is covered in the warrenty, they just lube it up for you i had that done, also they do not charge to check the car if you say something is wrong but they will charge you for the 160 point inspection if they do not find anything wrong, unless of course your out of warranty

thanks for your help bro, but it seems like im not on the right track here.
160 point inspection is just for inspection, the dealer is not going to fix anything, they still going to charge me for inspection?

If i tell them something is wrong with my car. Of course, they will check that, what if they can't find anything wrong at all. Do they still charge me for labor cost?

And one more thing, my car is still under warranty

yup if they do the inspection and find a problem they will and the problem is covered by warranty then everything should be FREE! but if you do the inspection and nothing is wrong or the problem is not covered by warrenty you will get charged for the inspection. but if you come with a certian problem like "my rear axle is clicking" they will check it and lube it up. no charge. like i had a problem (well still do) with my engine making a ticking noise sometimes, i went there and told them that and they lubed my axle saying it might be the axle, didnt fix the problem, i came back twice after that and of course the car doesnt make any noise when your at the dealership!! and they still to this day cant figure out the problem and i've been there like 3 times with no charge.

at least i got a free car wash out it! and they vacumed my car

ahh, now i got it. Well, i just want them to check my rear axle since my car has a quick scrapping noise, like a metallic noise when acceleration at low RPM, and some guys in this forum said it could be the rear axle or the rear wheel bearing. I just want to make sure that it's free to check the rear axle even if they cant find anything wrong. Thanks again.

And yea, i want my car to be washed and vaccumed for free also. Haha. That's so nice.
