Just a follow up – replaced the spring arm today (aka lower control arm) – quiet ride has returned. The “bushing” is actually more of a kind of ball joint (no rubber coupling) – had dried out and gotten a little loose and dirty. Guess that is why it comes with the control arm and not separate.

Safety Recall, Wireless Ignition Node Receiver. Car would beep the horn, lock doors, and flash headlights any time fobic was within 20 feet of the car. Took it to dealership, who said they had fixed the problem by changing WINR. Drove 85 miles home and as soon as I got out of the car, the aforementioned problems returned. Called dealership about taking it back, because the problem was not fixed. They said this time a diagnostic fee would be charged despite the maintenance supervisor saying that it was good to go (in other words, fixed). I wrapped the fobic in aluminum foil, and then placed it in an Altoids box...which fixed the problem. Was a pain to wrap and unwrap, but, after about three months...it quit the beep, lock, flash problem, and now, another three months later, I don't have the problems. Oh, and, I do not use the trunk lock button nor the keyless entry...I do it all OLD SCHOOL and use the entry/trunk key.

Sunroof rattle returned. Dealer fixed by tightening. Air conditioning periodically blows warm air while cruising - acts like when compresser shuts off when you floor it but does it while cruising. Also, blower fan speed varies on its own, despite being under manual control. A/C still blows warm intermittently, fan still acts up. Now, when startup, blower fan completely dead for as long as 10 minutes then starts on its own randomly. Dealer unable to duplicate non-working fan or other problems.
