1,400 mile Inspection and issues

Just had my dealer call up. At 1,400 miles I gave my car in for an inspection.

Problems reported
1) Steering wobbles at high speeds
2) Pax seat vibrates while driving
3) Stereo speakers sound like they have popped.
4) Windows partially roll down when raisng them. So have to re press buttons.

They tell me the vibrating seat is normal as this is a truck. I told them this was just plain nonsense!

Does anyone have the same experience?

1) Your car needs alignment. Wobbly indicates a slight misalignment; have them check the steering geometry as well.

2) It could be an incorrectly bolted seat. Again, have them recheck the bolts.

3) ????? Need more info.

4) It sounds like a bad window regulator.

My stereo sounded a few times as it was set to AM when it was playing CD's. They will check this at my 1000 mile check this coming week.

When I press the remote to open the trunk, at times it only opens a little and then shuts, so I have to re-press the remote.


I cannot believe the delaer told you it is a "truck." Tell him you will drive your truck into his service center, and you will show him what damage a truck can do...

Other than this, I am happy.

It looks like the noisy CD/Radio is common, but I haven't heard a good explanation for it.

Any clues? Must be some grounding problem [?] since it's corrected when the car is restarted...

I'm waiting to hear from the group before I go in for my 1-3k service.

Window could just need to be resynched. Put it all the way up manually by holding the button then when its in the up position hold the switch in the up position and count to 10 before releasing it. Vibration sounds like an out of bal tire. Wobbling sounds like it is out of alignment. Its possible you have bad speakers is it the HK or std system??
