Default Bringing car in for service.....

Well It's that time to bring my car in for some warranty stuff, so far this is what I need to get serviced, The rattle in the dash, my mirror has seriuous swirl marks so it needs to be replaced and my E brake is not grabbing, I feel like I'm forgeting something can you people chime in, any tsb or anything I'm forgeting?

Not to scare you, I brought my car in to fix the rattle by my left ear two times and now they want to keep the car for a few days. They told me that they changed and adjusted everything in the driver's door and a new door panel. The noise is still there. They are going tril and error on my car. I only have 1400 miles on it.

Is there really a TSB for dash rattle?
Also, are you talking about your rear view mirror? The mirror has swirls that you can't wipe out?

No I'm talking about the driver's side mirror, It was like that since the first day I bought it but I alwasys thought somebody just tried to wipe it dry and left a streak but it never went away, I know it has happenned to atleast five people on here. And about 90% sure there is a TSB on the rattle.

Did you check to see if your VIN falls within the affected range?

Do you typically hear a rattle when driving?

Yes, I hear the rattle not on the highways but definitley on city roads where is bumpy and that is exactly what I told them, so that is not my fault they cant hear it.

Always curious why one car will rattle and another one won't .... even when both are in the VIN range. My IS350 hasn't had a squeak, rattle, grunt, or groan in the first 2000 miles I've owned it, even though it is in the VIN range of problem vehicles. Guess I'm just lucky, and I hope it remains that way.
