  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I've had my 2010 Genesis Sedan serviced locally by a good technician at a non-dealer shop for its 1st 12K miles, but now (for the 1st time), I am taking it to the dealer's service department.

What should I ask him to do or look at in addition to fixing my specific problem under warranty (Steering Wheel memory gradually looses its setting, and has stopped extending and/or shortening the length of the steering wheel).

I'm thinking of things like:

1) Updating my GPS Map (I purchased my 2010 in November, 2009).

2) Asking him if there are any recalls or "fixes" to be installed (I think they are called Technical Service Bulletins, but I'm not sure).

3) Are there other things I should ask him to routinely adjust, look at or do?

I really don't know what else to ask him to do. I'm fat, dumb and happy with the car, everything works great (and with the help of some of y'all on the Genesis Forum, I've got the car running like a dream.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,:)
 
Good question, Dave. I'm anxious to see all of the replys you get. I'll be taking mine in soon at 7,000 miles for it's first oil change. I'm leasing, so I'm feeling more comfortable having my dealer do it (for their records) and to check out a couple of intermitent quirks. Often times the seat heater shuts off after 2 minutes and I have to restart the car to get any response back (heating or cooling) from the buttons. Backup camera stops working on occasion, but resumes if I back up over a bump. I have also read that the cooling system in the seat will slowly loose it's ability to cool due to the foam in the seat is slowly blocking the air duct. I read that the remedy given in a TSB is for the service person to insert PVC pipe in that area to keep the air flowing. You might want to check on that. Maybe just say the seat isn't cooling like it use to. Anybody have any issues that Dave might have tended to while in the shop?
