Angry List of MY Problems.. anyone else??

Well, ive had my 02 Ex now for about 2 months... Here are the wierd things I experience...

1. My seat rocks ( I see thats quite popular)

2. I also have the popping sometimes when I stop. (also popular)

3. I dont know if my car is this damn slow or what, but if i dont rev the engine up while in first then take off,,the car like bogs down bad when taking off. In other words, a normal take off makes the car kinda jump and then I floor it,, the car takes like 2 seconds to finally GO.

4. My clutch does this wierd thing. After I drive say, on the highway for a period of say,, 20 minutes... when I get off like at an exit ramp, and come to a stop, push the clutch in,, then you take off,,, as you slowly let the clutch out... it feels like like its grabbing,, it stops kinda on its own like 6 times on the way out... doesnt come out smooth,, like if you slowly let it out,, it starts to come up,, kinda stops,, comes up,, stops ,, them up,, its really hard to explain,, but does not feel normal. It doesnt do it around town.

Thanks......

I went to the dealership about the "popping" when I brake, and they said it was the calipers shifting. It's annoying, but there's nothing you can do about it.

oddly enough, i have experienced a variation of problem #4. after driving on the highway for an extended period of time (usually 2+ hours non-stop), the clutch feels terrible when you get off the highway and resume stop and go driving. it feels very rough, almost like it is scraping against something when letting it out slowly. after 20 minutes or so, it goes away. hmmmmm.

the only problem thats annoying the hell out of me is that something on the passenger side of the car is making a creaking sound (maybe the glove compartment) everytime i hit a bouncy road.

#2 can be fixed, mostly its the rear brakes that need adjusting, I adjusted mine and it went away. The caliper shifting noise can be fixed, its caused from inproperly installed retainer clips, or clips that have slipped.
