    I'm going to hit the 36000 mile mark in about 5 months. I'm preparing for the dreaded milestone psychologically and realistically. So, what sort of things (if any) should I have the dealership look for or take care of between now and then?

    If you've been following my threads, you know I'm soon replacing my headlight assembly for a water leak. Stuff like that...

    Thanks everyone.

    I sugggest you verify the operation of the cabin electronics that are covered by the 3 year / 36K mile warranty. For example, the MFD, nav system, stereo system, HVAC system, power windows, etc.

    Thanks Patrick. I forgot to mention I have the Platinum Warranty for 100,000 miles and I believe many of the cabin electronics are covered. Does the 36k cover squeaks and rattles, or dings and dents?

    The 36K mile warranty will cover squeaks and rattles. It will be assumed that any dings and dents that you did not report upon taking delivery of the car were caused by your ownership, thus you get to pay for repairing those.

    Ok thanks, because I have a nasty squeak coming from my rear passenger side seat. I think it's rubbing with the metal loop that the seat snaps into. I suspect the bolt holding the seat down might not be tight, but I'd rather have the dealer dig through all that. See? This is helping...
