Now my A/C won't change speeds. Still blows cold and hot, but only one speed. I'll get it checked on Monday when they replace my rearend, work on my brakes squeeking for the 4th time, check my windows that are scratching my tint, and that will be enough for this visit.

Besides all the issues the engine runs great, and the car looks spectacular. I've got 1650miles and she still runs hard.

I had my 05 rearend replaced about 3 weeks ago. What was yours doing and what did they say about the whole thing?

It's making a loud chattering noise. They had originally just replaced the clutch packs because it was making a loud creeking noise when turning slowly then they heard the other noise and decided to replace the whole rearend.

Did you have an aftermarket stereo installed or for any other reason pulled the console apart? This happened to me while installing my XM. The harness for the fan speed **** came undone (which i didnt realize until after I put everything back together and started driving). This caused the fan to blow at constant low speed while the AC or heat was on.

That's probably it. They pulled my radio because it was randomly powering off due to some loose wires.

Yeah somebody else had something inside the door actually etching their windows while scratching the tint. One thing I noticed when I have both my windows rolled down the driver's side sticks up probably a half an inch farther.

Yeah I try not to get to upset about it. I understand it is the first year model. Maybe I'll have so many problems they'll give me a Cobra....Most of it doesn't bother me too much except for the squeeking brakes...I picture people staring at my beautiful car and then I slow down and their image changes from wow to that sounds horrible...

Did they turn your rotors when doing break job? And or did you try asking for metallic brake pads?

I don't know what they did. I'm so sick of them. If they can't fix it this time I'm going to be forced to take it to our dealership. I really don't want to have to drive 2hrs for warranty work.
