My CPO warranty expires end of March
I currently have about 56k miles on the car.
It's in today to have:
* control arms checked (hopefully replaced since they are groaning like crazy),
* NAV system checked (suddenly sees 0 of 8 satellites),
* brakes checked
* alignment done, wheels and tires balanced and rotated,
* heater blower motor checked (hopefully replaced, but since it's not currently squealing this exact day (as opposed to it doing it about every 3rd day) I may have to push the stealer on that),
* locking cable safety recall done.
Is there a checklist of other stuff I should have them check out? I am not currently having any major issues other than a few rattles, but don't want to miss my opportunity to get stuff fixed under the warranty if possible.
Thanks

Oh HECK YEAH:
- oil cooler coolant leak
- cam tensioners
- tbelt tensioners
- variable intake actuators
- ps high pressure line weep
- rack leaks
- vacuum leaks
- PCV valve atop center rear of IM
- and then like Mark said - have them check and recheck any / all output seals on the trans / diffs. Can nearly guarantee some sort of leak
While I'm guessing @ 56k most of these will be a non issue, it can't hurt to look to where they WILL begin to deteriorate eventually - may catch early signs.
The beauty of 130k and racking like 20k / yr. Paul Miles here is I get to Guinea Pig this stuff for yas 8-).
Good luck - let us know how you fare. Take them to the cleaners if ya can butofcourse...

just got a call - car still being looked at, BUT
apparently the CV boots are cracked and leaking grease. The estimate to repair is about $1300, which caused me to bite my tongue in half when he said it. Is that a good estimate?
Also, control arms do need to be replaced, still can't tell what's wrong with the NAV ...
more to come soon!
you guys are great, thanks for the advice to this non-car savvy guy.
