You might have a weak battery. Cold mornings would make it apparent. Try a battery tender or block heater. You're on your own for the tire. I'd get a stock one until the rest are worn. Then I'd switch to Michelin super sports.

Ok thank you guys, I'll just eat this one.

Sounds like the biggest problem with the car is that they put a transmission in it that shifts itself.

Start the car: i had this issue twice, but then i realized that if i hold the push button for 1-2 full seconds then release it, then i don't have hard time starting the car. Condensation: i don't have that. Metal clanking noise: completely normal. That happens when the engine is cooling down. Happens on every single car i owned. TPMS: Your BRZ has TPMS? Mine doesn't. Tire: It's gonna be hard to convince the dealer that the tire problem is not your fault. |

The tire warranties are generally for the first useable 2/32" of tread depth or 12 months which ever comes first.
Welcome to a first year car. There are going to be hiccups in any first model year and we are the lucky ones that get to work through them. Lemon Laws usually require a problem to render the vehicle immobile or unuseable after multiple attempts at fixing the same problem. |
My rule of thumb: Take 30 seconds every fill up to check the tire pressure. I fill up every two weeks and tires need to be topped off every month and a half to two months.
Check under your hood, anything that is yellow are things you can check yourself and takes at most a minute to check everything. All the clear resevoirs have an indicator so most things can be visually checked. Pull out the dipstick, wipe, replace and pull out to check oil levels after you've stopped the car and let it cool down for 10 minutes. Coolant has a cold and hot indicator i believe, fill it up to what the status of your car is. It's not rocket science really. Do these things to minimize chances of failures. When you have done your due dilligence to reasonably maintain the car, then you have an issue that you can bring up with the dealer and you have a case to argue if you've done everything you could. If you neglect doing things yourself, you are most certainly shit out of luck with any service department. I just find it funny when preventable things could have been done but aren't and suddenly law this and law that start flying everywhere. |
As far as the tire goes it was run with low pressure. So in the words of Michael Jackson

The lemon law comes into effect if the dealership has to repair or replace the same component 3 times in the first 3 years of the vehicles life... Or first year on the case of a used vehicle... For example... If the starter goes out after 3 months and they replace it and
6 months later it goes out a second time they replace it again... If it happens again in the next 2 years the lemon law comes into effect... Most dealerships are nice about it... Especially Toyota... They will most likely end up giving you a brand new car at that point... I hope this helps clarify to anyone the understanding of the lemon law. |
