Talking TSBs, DEALER DENY YOUR PROBLEM, SHOW THEM THIS!

I recently noticed a lot of problems you guys described are included in the TSBs. So I decided to post some TSBs for you fellows to use. Enjoy!


1. Navigation displays inaccurate position or reboots frequently. (Software update.)
2. Rear end noise. (Rear brake pads needs to be replaced.)
3. Door seal noise. (Door seal rubbers needs to be replaced.)
4. Dash board melting or gets sticky. (A special spray needs to be applied, cars sold in hot climate area probably already has the spray.)
5. Power steering failure during cold start. (Software update.)


I have more, but it only allows me to upload five at a time, I will post more later when I have time. Just download the PDF file and use Adobe Reader to view them.

More please! I had my FEH down at the dealer getting the GPS replaced, and mentioned the door seal noise that has bugged me since the beginning. I also mentioned that the last time I said something a lubricant was put on, but it stunk and was very temporary. Then I pulled out the TSB, and just like that my parts were ordered.

So thanks, and keep 'em comming!

they are very helpful, but you can also ask them to do a TSB check on your car when you bring it in and they cant seem to find the problem or say there is only a temp fix.
