anything to check before warranty runs out

I have 500 miles before my warranty runs out. I am taking my car in for a schedule b maint.

Anything else to have them check before my warranty runs out?

I am planning to ask them to check:
1) flickering right xenon (only sometimes so maybe tricky to show)
2) rough idle when reversing in cold
3) driver side speaker rattling (had this once before where trunk switch came off)

Other than that, car has been great. No issues. Drives great.

just have them check everything, that's what I asked my SA to do and they did. There was a couple of TSBs performed. Goodluck

i believe another member had the same problem. I think it was a defective hid control module. The part was $200, just do a search for his thread.

how do I recreate the flickering.. It does not consistently happen.

if I just tell them it happens sometimes, they will probably tell me they could not recreate it.

Get them to check front suspension control rod & anti roll bar bushings. Your model should have improved versions fitted but they still tear sometimes. If there is any visible deterioration make them change them.

If you haven't had the pcv hose changed as part of the service campaign make sure you get that done. Also, have them check your cam sensors to make sure they are not leaking.
