I FINALLY got to wash my Titan for the first time yesterday when I got home from work. I didn't have a chance to go over it REALLY well afterwards due to the fact it was starting to get dark by the time I was done. Today, after I got home from work, I looked the truck over really well...
First, I noticed when I first got the truck a few scuffs on the right side of the truck in the VERY rear, just in front of the bumper. No biggie. The dealer's lot had a bunch of snow on it just prior to me getting the truck. Someone probably rubbed up against it while shoveling. I know they'll buff out with wax...
Well, today I notice that the scuffs transition into a scratch that runs down the whole right side of the truck!!! I KNOW this did not happen after I picked up the truck. I park nowhere near ANYONE and I KNOW I didn't scratch it. The worst of it is in the passenger door. I'm NOT happy...
Another thing, my ticking is getting worse. This is the ticking I mentioned immediately after joining this site. Yesterday I noticed it being much worse than ever before. It sounds like a "ping" from premature detonation. Once out driving for 20 minutes or so, it seems to go away. IMHO, it sounds like an exhaust leak. Maybe a clamp is loose, and once the exhaust is fully hot it expands enough to seal the leak. I don't know, but whatever it is the dealer needs to address it.
I'm just not happy right now. The scratch, the ticking, the sqeaks from the plastic around the gauge housing... I'm just venting, but I'm really irritated...
