Default Operating/Usage Questions-

Hey guys, I have now owned my Xfire for 2600 miles and had it for about 2 months. My car now has 11,600 miles and has 18 months and 24,400 miles left on the warranty. My car is a limited coupe. Automatic tranny.

I have observed a few things that I have questions about. If others have the same experiences or if you think I have some problems that need to be looked at please let me know. Thanks for your help. Here is the list:
  • When it is cold- When I put the car in reverse I hear a metallic sound just a quick metallic sound- no noises while moving. Also when cold my first shift to 1st gear another metallic sound. Possible universal joints I hear?
  • When cold in the morning- I occasionally smell a faint scent of antifreeze when I first start it up, I think the scent comes thru the vents.
  • Do you hear the gasoline in the tank when coming to a stop- I can hear it sloshing in my tank.
  • A few times the wing deployed below 62 MPH the wing light flashes can't move it down it beeps when I try- but on restart it stays down until 62 MPH and works fine.
  • My fan comes on occasionally, it only runs for a short period of time and turns off. My thermostat stays at the halfway mark or a little less all of the time after warm up.
There were other things I wanted to ask but this is a good start.
I have to leave my car outside as I don't have a garage to park it in.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Don
