A Few Issues, may have heard of some already
I did search a few of these but here they are so far. I am looking for either a yes thats what you should do or any advice from people who have had these problems. Thanks.
1) They say they fixed my seat but after a few months it is back to that rocking issue.
2) The heat only works when the car is moving, when at a light it blows cold air. I also noticed last night that my car was jumping from 3/4 back to low on the temp then back up to 3/4. I used to never see it go over 1/2 so I am thinking thermostat. I have bumper to bumper wonder if this covers it, only 50k on the car.
3) Weird rattle from rear passenger seat, I think somethin is loose back there not sure what.
4) Headlights blowing. It only happens when I turn the lights on, once in a while about every 3 months when I turn the switch the lights go on and blow out real quick (flashout). I asked the dealership about it and they said there was no recall but I have the NHSTA paper printed out that says all about the issue so I am goin back to the dealership to get it fixed.
5) Clutch pedal is now making a creek sound like a door opening when presseed and depressed at times. I am thinking just some grease would help.
6) When shifting to reverse it will occasionally either pop out of gear or just whir as if I was in neutral. I cannot figure out why I put it in gear all the way, and for now I have to shift to first then back to reverse to get it to work. Even then it doesnt always cooperate, another dealer issue I will bring up.
7) The car is at 50k and other than typical oil change, and getting my tranny flushed, what else can be recommended to keep everything at par.

#2. you said you had no coolant in the other thread and it keeps leaking out somewhere. Do a pressure test on the system, otherwise add it full of coolant and let the car run and stand there and see if any leaks out.
#3. If something is loose, take the seat out and put it back together making sure to tighten anything.
#4. there is a TSB out for the headlights. And the dealership knows about it. If they say otherwise, show them the TSB.
#5. use some white lithium grease on the bushing on the clutch pedal. Should take the noise away.
#6. cant help you with that one, take it to the dealer.
#7. change your spark plugs, air filter, rotate tires, balance them, change AC filters, check brakes. And grease up everything. Maybe change brake fluid and coolant.

Rep Power: 0 Brake fluid and coolant is all good now, changed and all. Brakes are new, tires are new and balanced/rotated.
Still have to change the plugs, change A/C filters and get the tranny flushed. Thanks man.
