Default Re: My 16th time bringing my TCH back to the dealer!

quick update. When I was at the dealer tonight. The service guy did tell me that a TSB has been released (In Canada) for the rear suspension. My car sometimes makes a weird bumping noise on very uneven services from the back. I thought it may be the rear left deck. It's not as rigid as it could be based on the vibes it gives when the stereo is loud. But sound can tranmit in deceptive ways and throw you off. The service guy didn't know what was being done and the tech was gone for the day. Some type of sound insulation and vibration kit is being ordered. (maybe rubber bushings for the strut?) I don't have a clue. But another time I get to go back to the dealer for warranty work and they don't provide me with a loaner or rental. When the work is done, I'll post how they addressed with the issue. I don't know what is being done to the exhaust pipe at the manifold either (maybe a gasket of some sort) Has anyone out their had these noise issues addressed with their car? and to add insult to injury, the center console was bowed out when I picked up the car so I got jabbed with its sharp edge when I got in the car! I had to go back in the dealer to show it to them. I wasn't too impressed. It looks like the tech probably put extra, extra foam in there and it was pushing the middle out where the cup holder door opens.
