Angry Item of concern (if you still have warranty great)

Ok I have about five items that will most likely be covered by warranty(I hope so):
1. noticed my cruise control don't work several months ago.
2. my right rear window at times doesn't go up with auto switch but it goes up when switch is used manually.
3. my front side mirrors and seat seem to lose memory position so gotta have that checked.
4. headlights stay on even when light switch is set to off but once car is off they turn off.
5. after setting alarm the car (used to) have the front fog lights blink with the rear brake lights but seems to be fixed.
6. starting to feel a little tranny jerk from 1st to 2nd around 1500 RPM again so gonna have that checked again.

I pay $100 for warranty work everytime so I wait til I have a few items to repair before I have dealer fix it.

victor, good to meet you last weekend, glad i got to hang out and get to know you...you have a very nice car!

all of those should be covered under warranty...just fyi...my car will lose the window auto up feature periodically, all you have to do is pull up on the window switch for 10 seconds while the window is in the up position...

hope this helps, let us know how the other items come out at the dealer...

Sounds like your lights are set to "constant" in your settings menu. You can fix this yourself. Should be in your owners manual on how to do it.

RE: bug. why would anyone want to deliberately put a bug in there computer?

Some of that stuff with your lights could the harness up there which they have an update for. The Jerk at 1500...well just let us know how that goes.

The other stuff is pretty common for these cars.

Oh. yeah, check your seat heater as well...something you might not think to check if you live in warmer climes. It should heat the lower back as well as the ***.

Thanks I am unaware of harness issues but warranty should figure it out. As for the tranny jerk I already took it in once so maybe they just took a short cut that provided a temporary fix....at least long enough to have me maybe out of warranty at the time who knows? But thanks! FYI I have recently new Clear Depo headlights with a 8k HID kit....

P.S. Already had the seat heaters checked and replaced but thanks.
