Default So I'm 150 miles away from warranty expiring!

Is there anything that would be advisable at this point to make sure I get the most out of the remainder of my warranty, before/after it expires? Maybe make a last trip to the dealership. Any pointers would be appreciated.

model and year would be helpful

some older models had issues with the dash melting, rear window brake light rattles, aux output interference when charging at the same time as listening to music, squeaky driver seat, rearview mirror vibrating excessively, windshield surround trim shrinking/pulling away, dash needles not illuminating, and nav screen connections going bye bye...

I think newer models had the issue with bubbling around the headlights

I think there was a TSB for a upgraded tranny and clutch, to fix some issues.

I have a similar situation that my extended warranty comes due in a few months on my 08 IS350. I was planning on taking it in to the dealer and spend the $100 for an inspection prior to it expiring to see if I can get anything fixed for free. I have 2 things that I know are wrong but I am not sure if the warranty will cover them. The paint on 3 of my wheels is bubbling and the drivers seat squeaks like no other. Really annoying. Does anyone know if I have a chance with those.

dude, squeaky driver seat is on my list.

Apparently, there is some plastic that they didn't take off so they issued a tsb for it. My seat used to squeak every time I made a turn. Annoyed the heck out of me.

Can you purchase an extended 100miles/7 years warranty (which gives you 2 additional years) at this point?

My car doesn't have any headlight bubbling issue yet; just checked.
It does once in a while have a real annoying loud noise/vibration when the sunroof is open all the way at highway speeds tho. It's not every time, but when it does happen, it just makes you want to close the sunroof. Cracking windows open doesn't help. I'm reluctant to have anything replaced just yet since it's so intermittent & random, but should I just take it in so they will at least document it?
