Alrite guys here it is. My TL bout to hit its 100k mark any day now, and i was wondering is there anything the warranty can do before it expires?? like can i have the dealer check the car without any fees?? Any tips and comments would help..

 

If there doesn't appear to be anything wrong I'm not sure what to suggest. If you have a good relationship with the dealer I would take it in and be honest with them stating that you would like the car checked over before it goes out of warranty. I will re-emphasize the "good relationship" part though since if it's a dealer you aren't familiar with they may take you for a ride...

Big ticket items to check:
Transmission
Motor Mounts
Ball Joints (Upper & Lower)
CV Joints
End Links (do they make a ping noise when cornerning hard?)
Power steering pump (any whining?)
Power steering rack

 

i believe i only brought my car into the dealer twice since i had the car. i haven't had any problems since i bought the car.(knok on wood) i bought it wit 39k miles and its been 2 yrs now and i put a total of 55k-57k miles on it. never had a single problem. i'm just afraid once the warranty expires all the problems are gonna hit all @ once. dat would suk.

 

Which warranty is remaining at near 100k? The only one I thought still applied at this mileage was the tranny (109k).

 

If it was bought CPO, it could be 7/100k bumper to bumper.

 

100k bumper to bumper

 

CPO??

ANd if your car isnt doing any thing that needs to be fixed they wont do anything under warranty.

 

Listen carefully for any noises- radio OFF windows down, turn the wheel all the way one direction and slowly slowly drive forward- any click click noise? do it the other direction too.

The trans has a 109k warranty so thats no sweat right now, BUT-- if its been taking longer to engage in D from N, or feels like it revs but doesnt accellerate getting on the freeway, those are trans symptoms and you want those documented right away.

No shop works for free- you can have a private shop look it over for all the things that go wrong- as listed on this thread~ wont cost much and you have peace of mind, or you proceed to the dealer for warranty repair!

 

can i bring it in and ask them to chek the transmission? i do notice a slow acceleration when gettin on the freeway.

 

then go and complain of that-
note if its worse when car is hot- or short onramps and full throtlle make it do it
