Creaking center console/and or driver's seat/seatbelt????
Noisy wipers clamping even when inserts are BRAND NEW.
Rear fenders plastic fenders being slightly out of alignment???

I noticed the rear fenders on my car bow-out a little and aren't flush with the seem. I can push them back in, but eventually they just pop out again. I was going to bring it to the dealer - anyone else have this problem or solutions.

Take your car in for the seat and center console squeak. There are TSBs out for both of them.

They fixed both for me and it's been quiet ever since.

I just took mine to the dealer yesterday. They fixed all the rattles that I told them about. One was the rattle from the driver's door and one coming front the center console. However, they said the rattle from the console was caused by the sunroof. It didn't seem like it, but they did fix the problem. No rattle so far.

yeah.. where's the TSB for the missing 6-Disc in dash CD Changer that should have gone in my 2001 TL!!!
Fock you Honduh!!!

As for the squeaky sh!t.. I'm sure there are some.. but if you just take it to a dealer.. and tell them to check out the squeaks you notice.. (Sunroof, console, seatbelt) They will fix it under warranty.. tell them you know your own car better than they do, and even if it doesn't make the squeak when you take it in; and if there is a TSB for any of them, have them do it for prevenative maintinece.. and since it is warranty work, it's part of the purchase price, and since it's part of the purchase price, the dealer gets to charge the Manufacturer for the work..
