Warranty Almost up - Making list for dealer

[Randall_Pink]

My warranty is almost up on my '04 Sierra, and I am making a list of the things I need to have replaced or checked.

 

Here is what I have so far.

 

1. Steering shaft - Rattle/loose feel

2. AC Controls - passenger side will not return to cool air unless the vehicle is killed and restarted.

3. Passenger side trim has bubbles in the chrome.

4. Rear seatbelt. (recall)

5. Power Steering pump whine.

6. Rear brake squeak at low speed.

 

Any other suggestions or things I have missed???

Thanks for any input.

I know mine has this issue, I always wondered why dealing with the fuel cap was such a problem:

 

Fuel Cap Tether Too Short to Hook on Fuel Door While Fueling Vehicle (Install Fuel Filler Housing and Cap) #05-06-04-043A - (Aug 2, 2005)

 

2004-2005 Cadillac Escalade Models

 

2004-2005 Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe Models

 

2004-2005 GMC Sierra, Yukon Models

 

This bulletin is being revised to correct the fuel filler cap P/N.

 

P/N 15225006 is released for 2006 and 2007 model year vehicles only. The correct fuel cap for the 2004 and 2005 model year is P/N 15225005. Dealers who currently have P/N 15225006 on order (possibly back-ordered) for this concern should cancel their order and re-order P/N 15225005.

 

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-04-043 (Section 06 -- Engine/Propulsion System).

For the Gas Cap issue, a friend of mine who is a Parts guy at a local dealer and I came up with the following solution:

i never knew that the cap tether was suppost to hang on that clip , the cap has a slot on the cap that clips right on the little clip thingy . it hangs there like it was designed that way . my 04 yukon is long enough but my 04 silverado isnt , but i thought that maybe they just changed it for some reason .

PISTON SLAP

TRANSMISSION CLUNK 2-3 UPSHIFT

Both are known problems to GM and I for sure would have it on the work order so when it craters out later there is a paper trail for you to go on.
