THE OFFICIAL: WHat have you had fixed under warranty thread

mkPOTO · 03-11-2010, 09:58 PM

I just wanted to share and see what people were able to get fixed and replaced through warranty. Just so we can see before we go complaining about it to a dealership and wasting our times.

Let me start
Rear Taillights (there was a dead spider in my taillight haha)
Waste gates
Fuel pump (i know many have)
A-pillar trims (dealership dirtied them up)
Navigation unit (kept freezing and rebooting)
Steering wheel trim

Lets see what you guys have gotten done

Seat belt assist arm, HVAC vent, Steering column.

NiVeDh · 03-11-2010, 10:23 PM

Replaced Xenons due to shaking when going over bumps.
New steering wheel air bag because the "AIRBAG" lettering was chipped in one part.
New navigation unit because it would keep saying "insert navigation DVD" even with a DVD in the drive.
Brake pads / wear sensor because of squeaking sound under light acceleration.
Microfilter housing / cowl replaced because one of the cable rail clips was broken.
Trunk struts replaced because the plastic was cracked.
Hood latch replaced because it was loose.
New clutch because there was a rattle when in neutral with the clutch pedal not pressed in.
Three new injectors because of misfires during cold starts.
New rubber pad for clutch pedal because old one had a chip in the corner.
