Jun 201534000 mi | Door hinge on drivers side door has a metal squeak. Replaced the slide and removed door, extensive diagnosis by techs and body shop. Problem was unable to be pinpointed. Problem not resolved. Headlamp fault warning message randomly displayed on DIC(Driver Info Center) throughout ownership. TSB to resolve issue via BCM reprogram. I believe it is fixed but sometimes goes 6+ months before issue presents itself. Update: never reappeared. TSB preformed for Idle quality problems and dips. Related to earlier recall done on a poor quality wiring splice. Rattle with rear spoiler. Earlier repairs for rattles and water leak. Nothing was repaired at this time. Screws keep falling out of the spoiler and the trim covering has started rattling now because it has been taken off many times. Whirring noise happening under load at low RPM. Could be related to an earlier bearing replacement of the half shaft support, but I believe it is a separate issue Coolant Smell coming from vehicle after driving. No coolant loss, no visible leaks. However spoken to other owners who have reported same problem. Rough idle, surging, other rough running when cold that resemble carbon build up on intake valves. Continues to get worse over time. Dealer says no problem, could not reproduce but admitted to not driving it when it was cold. | ||
