Need Help: About to take car for service
Okay... I'll list my problems (as well as mods that may be associated with them.) If there's a TSB out, I'd appreciate a link. I will remove my CAI and Tuner before taking the car in. Any other advice would be great.
1: Door Handles (Outside) do not automaticall retract fully into the body.
2: Door sill plates coming unglued.
3: Skipper 500. Nuff said. (Replaced once)
4: AOD/Rear whine
5: Distinct rear end groan when decelling from 60MPH+
6: Front seat rear release popped off. Broken.
7: Trunk liner fasteners popped off. Broken.
8: Gas tank filler problems. (Serviced once)
9: LOUD rattles in dash/door area. (Left)
10: LOUD rattle in Right Rear area.
4 has been since the car was new.
5 is (almost certainly) drag strip related.
Build date is April.
If there are any other issues I should have checked (due to my build date), I'd love to hear them.
Thanks all.

On the number 5 item make sure you don't have strips of rubber under rear wheel wells and under side of car. Get rid of the evidence they don't know what caused the noise for that matter you don't know either just don't give them fuel.

You might also want to check your seats for this TSB both my driver and passenger seats did it.If you feel the front of either seat and the leather piece in front of the seat is flapping in the breeze here is the TSB . [05-17-14 Loose Seat Cusion Cover Trim on Front of Seat] I have a friend who also has the same problem in his 05.

Reference number 10, I STILL have a loud rattle coming from the rear trunk area. I've received some good advise via the Forum on possible causes, but to date, I haven't been able to find it. Please let us know what happens at the dealership.

I will, most certainly.
The Stang will head to the dealer next week. I have an online grudge to settle first. Some DSMer hating on Domestics (even though his car is one). If he beats me, there's a 400RWHP N/A Camaro to back me up.

Mines going to the dealer tomorrow. After racing (and beating badly) an 04 GT, I got off the gas in third and heard a terrible noise from the back of the car. Like a really unbalanced tire only louder. It only happens on decel from 40mph+ whether the car is in gear or not. Oh well, guess I'll be driving the S-10 for a while.
