Warranty

[New2Import]

I have a few little things that needs to be address for warranty. Do I just make an appointment at a local dealer to get fix? Car has 26K on the clock so I want to get them done. Weatherstrip is loose on two doors and console trim is peeling. Also sound like a wheel bearing loose up.

Yeah, you need to make an appointment with them. This will reserve you a loaner car if the repairs will be more than a day. Though, I really don't see your repairs taking that long to fix. What do you and others meand by door weather strip is loose? I've heard this described before. What is actually happening?What trim on the center console are you referring to? I didn't know it had anything on it to peel.

Down the side of the console where your leg would be. Its peeling from the bottom. The vynil part. The weatherstripping on the top of the back doors come loose from the doors.

It sounds like eekeekeekeek...... BANG!!!!!! Just kiding.

Have you ever driven on a textured asphalt road then to a smooth concrete road? Have you noted the differences in tire tone feedback in your head? Well, a bad wheel bearing will sound like your driving on a textured asphalt road. It kind of sounds like a roaring noise.

Not sure if they are known for bad hub bearings. I haven't owned mine long enough to know these kind of things about them. I have seen members mention they have had them replaced by dealer under warranty though.I know GM is sure bad about hub bearings wearing out around 60K mi or usually under 100K mi. Their inner tie rods are also known to wear out around 30K mi...... That's pretty bad I think. Whos idea was it again...to place tie rods and balljoints under cars & trucks without grease certs???? That was a bad idea by all makers! Lifetime parts...........give me a break.....

LOL..that so you can go to the stealership for replacements. Plus its just cheaper for them to go that route. Those bean counters hurt the industry. Thats why I quick buying GM along with poor interior style. But I do see a new Camaro in my future.
