OK. Im stupid. What is the cladding and what is the problem with it?

I guess we were lucky. The battery was dead when we bought the car new off the lot. So, they replaced it right there with the bigger battery.

I took it in and told them of the popping noise when you put it in drive or reverse. They of course said they could not duplicate. Does anyone know what that TSB is for. The sound seems to come from the trans area.

I had the dealer check the pads at the next oil change. Which was yesterday, and they are fine. We moved off the dirt road last month . It had to be the sand I guess. And yes it was under warranty. I would have hated to see that bill.

Check GEico BEfore 11 months or 11000 miles. You dont have to get it at the time of purchase

well. Ok. But, the rotors were worn out. And when I made them show me you could actually see the sand and tracks in the pads. I just figure it was a fluke then.

does anyone know of any TSB's for the 2004's

The dealer said that it was sand from the dirt roads. After I looked at the design I agree. The pads being on the front of the rotor is not a p...

the extended warranty you buy at the dealer is ussually done through a form of an insurance company. The dealer wanted around 2000 for theirs. I got mine through my insurance company for $50. every six months. GEICO. It is alot cheaper and just as good.
