Hey everyone - picked up MY in late December and loving it so far. Two quick questions that I haven't been able to find much information on:
1. I make a left-hand turn into my parking lot at work and there's a small lip to drive over to transition from the road and into the parking lot. Just about everyday when doing so there's a single 'thump' or a light 'knock' under my feet on the driver side. It seems to happen infrequently (i.e. does not when driving on a flat road), but does seem to happen frequently when the car weight shifts when going over a transition in the pavement. Do you guys think this is a cause for concern - i.e. suspension issue? I've read you can hear a knocking/popping from the battery "breathing" but this seems to be isolated to the car tackling pavement transitions into parking lots.
2. Are your driver side wipers unable to clean the lower quarter of the windshield? Lots of salt residue on the roads, and even when pumping through lots of washer fluid (+5-10 seconds), the bottom of the windshield just doesn't get wet to clean. Wasn't sure if this was an isolated incident and need a new blade, or could be a tension issue with the wiper arm.
Any input is appreciated, thanks everyone and happy driving.
