Who's gotten the letters for recalls (hood latch/brake booster)? The consensus I've seen is that the car is new and the tech guys are having trouble, wait time for replacement is one to two hours each. So many areas to get to and parts removed for the hoot latch. I may want to hold out until experience has set in. What do you guys think?

Sounds like some minor repairs. Why wait?

yeah both recalls took less than 2 hours.....seems like they replaced the plastic tab that you pull to pop the hood and now it sorta looks slanted and the gap look a bit larger.....oh well....

Call or stop by and they can run your VIN. Just have your Vehicle Identification Number handy when you call.

I had the brake one done. I also my driver's c pillar replaced it was warped badly and would't stay clipped on. The tech said it happened on a gts he worked on too.

I had both recalls done in the same day.. Together they took about 2 hours.
My pillar cover is coming loose too. Damn thing keeps poping out.
I also raised an issue about the car not starting from time to time. The car would just crank and nothing would happen. They told me it was an issue caused by how rich these cars are set from the factory. The service manager said there was an ECU flash for it, so he did it.... It has been fine ever since.

Yeah I had same thing happened about the pillar but mine was on the passenger side went back to the dealer they replaced the clip and not had a problem since.
