Almost out of warr..48K

Anything i should gripe about to dealer before she is out of bumper to bumper?
the rear deck STILL VIBRATES when i play a song with bass...i had the entire thing rebuilt by acura...i think this time its the subwoofer.

next the steering wheel volume and channel controls dont always light up at night, i have to hit them sometimes to glow...

anything u guys mite know of that im not thinkin of??

thanx!

Im in the same boat as you. I'm contemplating buying the extended warranty for peace of mind. I usually don't keep cars for this long but I have other financial obligations that take priority so I have to keep this car for a while.

Just in case you might need it, remember that your warranty is good to 52500 miles because of the odometer class action lawsuit:

wasnt someone on here offering it at a very good price, but he was also recently leaving that dealership he worked at? I assume you didn't take advantage of it.

edit: here it is:

At this point, according to the thread, he's no longer with the company.

anything directly related they can argue failure under warranty- like no cv joint coverage on lowered cars

Other than that- your speaker and button prob have no relation to the mods- so no hassle from dealer.
If they have any concerns its because lowered cars dont go on the rack easily, like a stock height car does
That takes more time for techs to use boards to get the car up, and more liabilty surrounding expensive wheels or other mods
