At the time of post the car is ~17k miles, in use for almost 2 y ears.
So I've got some issues that I want to see if I'm alone on, at this point I want to just give the car to a dealer for warranty coverage but I'd fear they'll take the car for 1-3 months, so any input on warranty or service in general also appreciated.
1. Whining when the car is applying brake pressure. Only happens when the car is braking while moving or stationary, there is a high pitched whine. If I'm at a stop light and the car is applying brake pressure, I can get the whine to turn off and on by applying the brake or releasing (Unclear if it's actually brake pressure or just the brake switch but close enough it doesn't matter). Seems to be slightly varying based on temperature, but consistent since I first got the car. I fear parts shortages could cause the car to be kept at the dealer, could they order parts for this and let me keep driving the car?
2. Speaker causing vibration, inside one of these 2 panels
I've gotten it to go away by bumping the panels, but it comes back, would this even be covered by warranty? Regardless of warranty, if anyone knows how to get these panels off I'll take a look myself, this is the one that's going to put me over the edge and take the car in otherwise, I have to skip half my music currently that has a ~100hz beat.
3. Both front suspension dust shields seem to have fallen off their bottom mount
this might be due to some nasty speed bumps I drive over, haven't done any research into fixing it.
4. Drivers seat heater has never worked, the lights just turn off after a few moments. I sometimes get it to try, I have smelled "heater smell" as if I was heating the coil for the first time (or first in a long time, it's been an issue for at least 8 months), this is one I also fear parts shortages could cause the car to be kept at the dealer, could they order parts for this and let me keep driving the car?
5. Passenger window switch jams / sticks when pressed all the way down.
Edit: forgot one started recently
6. Car RPM looks stable on tach, but I can hear a sine wave style throttle pulsing, like something is fluctuating in the car to maintain speed.
