Default Warranty up soon- important TSB's??

Im at 33,000 miles and am curious what important TSB's there are that I might want to get fixed before the warranty is up.

If the dealer can't reproduce the problem then they won't perform the TSB for free. So if you aren't having any issues... Then there is nothing to fix.

My dealer won't do it without being able to reproduce the problem. It's not a recall. You don't just go in and say "I want every TSB performed for this car please. kthxbai". Recalls, yes, TSBs no.

Not all TSBs are problems that come up for every car. Some have them some don't.

I had no problem when I took mine in for its one and only visit just before the warranty was up. I had them fix the fuel pump hesitation issue, and along with that the fuel gauge acting erratic. Center stack rattle, and I got new carpet also. No questions asked at all. No test driving either. I guess it all depends on the dealer, and who you know.
Also told them not to re flash the pcm, and left a note in the car as not to re flash pcm. They did not questin my CAI, retune, pullies, brake, suspension, and exhaust modifications.

Also had them align my drivers fender, it stuck out more than the door near the bottom since day one.

Im not asking about getting them to do it or not, my dealer has always been good about fixing stuff if you tell them, whether or not they can recreate the issue.

So the question still stands... is there a list of relatively important TSB's that might be relatively likely to occur after the car goes out of warranty ?

This is an automatic by the way, in case there are specific ones for those cars.
