I was wondering how "perfect" you expect your cars to be and if you really bug the dealer until everything detail is perfect. I ask, because I have a few minor things I'd like the dealer to look at, but am not sure if I'm being realistic about them fixing it or not. Sure, it's a new car and should be great, but realistically, can we expect that?
My "minor" gripes:
1). Engine seems to tick at times, kind of like a the lifters would sound like on the old pushrod motors. Is this common on these motors? I suppose this could be more than a minor issue and something I'll at least ask the dealer about.
2). Driver side speaker sounds blown when listening to talk radio. I really don't think I blew it, I think it has always been this way and I never noticed it until I switched from music to talk radio.
3). I have a rattle in the passenger side dash, especially in the mornings when everything is a little colder and tighter.
4). At a recent fill up, my fuel gauge didn't come back up to full until driving for nearly an hour. No problems since though.
I'm thinking I'll wait another month or two and take it in for all these things to see what they can do, but is it realistic to think they would actually spend the time and money to get the rattle out of the dash? How far do you expect your dealer to go to make things perfect?
