1. Fuel-pump Chirping mine is intermittent but it started up last night, I have about 1096 miles on it. I ONLY use 93 octane and have only used Shell/Chevron. Is it worth getting this fixed since it doesn't seem to be going away even for those with numerous fuel pump changes?
2. Rear driver side "clack" "harsh click" noise when driving hard, turning hard Only noticed this once or twice, haven't been able to recreate it. I notice a clack/click sound almost as if a penny is falling onto metal in the rear side of my car. I think it's the rear decklid thing. Heard this can be fixed but also inevitably returns. Worth the fix?
3. Idle dip/engine shudder, intermittent about a handful of times I've gotten a strange idle dip/engine shudder either when coming to a stop and it happens around 25mph (whilst coming to a stop) or when completely idle at stop. Idle will dip below 800rpm then back up to about 1100 rpm then to normal idle. The other issue seems to be as stated during stopping, engine will make a strange shudder-noise like if it's stalling? Not sure...doesn't seem to really affect anything.
4. Beginning condensation in tail-lights most noticeable after washing my car, I get MINIMAL condensation right around the top edge of the tail lights going around the rim. Has anyone gotten this successfully fixed?
So far no other issues, I drive my car like a grandma would 95% of the time and have only laid down on it a handful of times.
No mods currently stock.
Any known fixes or TSB's that they will fix and honor without complaint?

#1 - No fixes. There is a TSB to change the high pressure fuel pump for the DI system, but it comes back after it breaks in. It's only a chirping noise and it's normal. Your going to have to learn to deal with it unless they find a permanent fix for it.
#2- Sorry, mine doesn't do it, or I just don't hear it.
#3- I see you are living in Florida, so I would imagine you run with the AC on. Living in Canada, I run with the heather on
. I went a few years back to see the Nascar race in Miami in November. Mostly everyone had sweat shirts and coats on and we were in t-shirts and shorts and dying of heat LOL. Anyways, to get back on point, when you have the AC or the heater set to either windshield positions, it will click on and off the AC pump, and that click is what drops the RPM so low. It never does it when the fan is either off, or if its just simply blowing regular air with no AC or defrost.
#4- Mine also has condensation and there is a recall, so just bring it to the closest dealer and they should fix it right up.
