Warranty is about to expire what should I look for?

I'm on 48K and i this rate i got a good month b4 that's all used up. Well my question is to mainly those that have gotten to that are past that 50K mark or close to it like me. I just wanna know what i should look for particularly because of time and succeptability to defects so I can go get checked out before warranty is up.

Does fogged and condensation in the headlights that have not been tampered with covered in the warrenty and can be replaces? Also my steering wheel shakes during breaking sometimes at high speeds mean anything else other than warped rotors? I've had the dealer check and they claim it's not the rotors, or they could be lying to me.

An itemized list would be greatly apprieciated.

and if your wondering i;m still on my first tranny, i bought it in july 2000

What is the IMRC valve and should I check that before taking it in, or just ask them to?

I wouldn't get the extended, if I were you. With the $1,000 you'd need, use that instead to fix anything that might crop up.

The tranny is covered till 100K. Anything else breaking, will most likely be rejected under warranty as regular wear & tear unless it has to do with the Nav....

Just my 2 cents

As for the lights, bring it in and ask if they will fix it under warranty.
