IMO those things sound like just basic maintenance nothing dangerous am i correct?
Well, the crank bolt was pretty serious. The front of the engine basically came off and my car spilled its guts/ oil onto the driveway the first time. Luckily, the second time the bolt came loose, I heard the engine make the tell-tale squealing sound, so I shut her off and had her flatbedded to the dealer. Some folks have had it happen while driving. You can potentially lose your power steering because the belt/ pulleys come unraveled, not to mention that it would make make a mess under the hood.
The "SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM" problem was a nuisance because the car limits the engine power. It felt like I was driving a 4 cylinder until I could get to the shop.
The "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" problem happened to me twice also. The first time was a faulty ABS sensor. The second time was a faulty steering position sensor.
The brake pad swap was actually a good thing. The old pads kicked off a ton of dust. The replacement pads, hardly any.
The roof panel thingy we've all had to deal with. Luckily. mine never separated. I just took it in for the foam adhesive maintenance.
The power steering hose replacement was a service bulletin issue. The steering would grind if you turned the wheel at idle. The old hose didn't generate enough pressure for the pump so this was replaced with an upgraded hose.
The seat issue was a complete re-upholster. The driver's side bolster had a spot which wore through from getting in and out of the car. The sad part is that the new seat cover is starting to wear in the same spot.
The thermometer sensor broke and the radio thermometer read a constant 35 degrees. It wasn't a big deal but I eventually got tired of seeing a constant "35" on the display.
You need to realize that each one of these issues is a 2 to 7 day shop time for the car. It can become a bit of a nuisance. I'm sure that with this power seat issue, the whole seat is going to have come out. This will probably be at least a 4 day shop visit.
Wow, you are really patient. I would be :WTF ! Glad you love the car so much and hope they finally get it sorted. :thumbsup:Well, the crank bolt was pretty serious.
