A few known problems with CL-S

hey all:

I know that some of you have these problems and found the fix for them. Can someone just tell me what the fix are so I can be more prepared when I take the car to dealer to fix?

1) uneven exhaust pipe

2) VSA indicator light is dimmly lit at nite after driving for a while.
The bottom of the triangle looks sort of orange and I know someone mentioned this before. It is sort of a bleed over light. Only happens after the car is on for a while.

3) squeaky door handle. When opening the door from the inside, the unlatch mechanism in the door squeaks. I am sure this can be fixed by some simple WD-40. But the squeak is inside the door panel, so anyone know where the squeak is coming from? And why doesn't it happen when opening the door from the outside?

4) slight moisture in the head light. Nope, the car is stock. I didn't try to open up the casing to do anything funky.

Thanks for the help!

1.) an uneven muffler can be fixed by checking out Chod's FAQ
2.) not sure
3.) not sure
4.) can be fixed under warranty from the dealer
hope this helps somewhat

I recently noticed that my VSA is dimmely lit when I have my headlights on. Probably just happened within the last month. Had the car for about 9 months and was built in Jan 2001. Got to bring the car into the dealer to deal with that and several other stuff.

I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about the light bleeding over into the VSA triangle. It's just light, guys.

I think most will bleed a bit, and I doubt that the dealer is going to do a service on it!
to properly fix it I think it would take pulling the dash out, not a nice job!
