Couple of questions before taking to dealer
Hey guys. I am going to be taking my car into the dealer on Wednesday for the addition of Sirius radio. I know there is a recall right now and I have noticed that some people say they feel a loss of power after. What is the recall? The dealer told me about it but I really don't remember getting a letter in the mail. Also I have the infamous chirp when the car shifts between 1st and 2nd. What is the chirp and do I need to have it fixed? I did a search on the chirp by the way and couldn't come up with anything. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

As far as the recalls, there are several out there. One is for a ground wire for the braking system, one that demands a reflash of the ECU, and one or two others.

I believe there is a clutch pack that helps address the chirp, I think this includes some new parts rather than just sanding the clutch and appying the anti chirp paste, but I'm not sure; I know some have had this done and hopefully they will reply.
