Teaking Tail light and Driver side passenger window auto down - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

feyrerm · 08-10-2012, 08:52 AM

Took My BRZ in for service yesterday. They replaced a leaky tail light, the chrome piece on one of the fenders that had a blemish in it from delivery, and the driver side power window switch because the passenger auto down was 50% at best.

So far the replaced window switch has been 100% working properly. We shall find out about the new tail light today because heavy storms are expected all day.

They also checked the NAV antenna which has a questionable range compared to others I have owned. According to them its functioning properly. That's kinda the response I expected. I have not noticed the crickets in my engine yet, and I have 2000 mi. Fingers crossed!

Overall it was a decent dealership experience. It took 2 weeks to get all the parts.

That's cool, they did all that without any issues. The dealership I've been at has been having trouble reproducing the issues with the passenger auto-down. I know it's there too, just happens about 50% of the time.

Wouldn't care if this was a 98 corolla, but its a 2013 FRS, no excuse.

Got a call today. Subaru is sending out some guys and they want me to drop my car off so they can research more into the NAV issue. I suspect they also want to check into the crickets since I did finally notice them today. It sounds so much like real crickets I just never realized it was coming from the car I think. lol

They want the car on tuesday and are offering a loaner.... I'm sure it will be something I don't want to drive, and automatic to boot. Oh well, Ill probably do it.
