I had piston slap on my '01 TA. I doubt your going to get any fix from a dealer but give it a shot. How bad is it? Are you burning oil? I had both of these problems. Here's the summary:
-dealer #1 tried to re-ring the motor and failed miserably
-dealer #2 tried to fix the motor by getting a new shortblock
-new motor began more oil than ever
-car was totaled soon after
