foibles and concerns I've had my car for close to a month now and I've already taken it in to the dealer..
The first is the clunking sounds coming from the front suspension. I assumed it was the shocks. The dealer said it wasn't,they were fine and they checked the motor mounts. They said they were fine too and simply lubed them. They said they didn't hear it anymore after that. The problem persists. Curious as to the price of a good aftermarket motor mount?
The xm radio band selection periodically completely vanishes from my stereo and then, just as randomly, returns on its own. I've inquired to the dealer about this problem as well and of course, they didn't experience this while they had my car either.
I think my navigation DVD is M.I.A. Unless, it's on my Onstar or v disc. If not, then I'm screwed. If so, how much are they?
A service electrical system message popped up on my screen today for the 1st time.
Everything seems to be In working order. Could it be a hiccup caused by consistent well below freezing temps?
Oh and my windshield washer sprayers aren't working either. They did at first until it ran out of fluid, but once I refilled it, they've stopped working.
To make things worse, I just clicked over the 50k mark tonight, do how much is the extended GM warranty?

A company called Creative Steel makes some nice motor mounts for our cars. I guess there are 3 different styles to choose from ranging from hard like a solid racecar mount, to almost stock-like, but a much more durable material.
The guy who sells them is called MotorMounts on the cadillacforums. These mounts have been getting good reviews.

Unfortunatelty after your out of your regular warranty you cannot but the GMPP... which is their extended warranty (atleast thats what they told me). So you'll have to do without, or used a 3rd party, but those have never worked well for me in the past.
If you want the updated NAV DVD, pm me... i can help you out.

How did they 'lube' the motor mounts, which are like fluid filled bladders? When they begin leaking they are done and need to be replaced.
