Wow. After reading your reply, I found some other posts here in the forum that confirm what you're talking about. What a ridiculous design. Why in the world would they think that would be a good idea? :? Anyway, I guess I have to bring it into the dealer for this. Any idea what they charge to update...

I'm assuming its the links at each end, but its hard to see what the exact problem is regarding where metal touches metal, but the noise is there. I ...
