Warenty Work

I am apporaching 50k miles and the end of my warrenty so I am trying to get any warenty work that I need done. The leather thing that is around the bottom of the shifter, I think its called the boot, is torn. Will my dealer replace that for me? Also any other common problems that I can check on before I reach 50k miles?

Bumper-to-bumper for '06 and earlier is 50K. They chapped it back to 36K in '07.

But you've got an '07, which is so highly improved that it doesn't need the long warranty.

Greg - I have no idea if they'll replace your boot. It's going to depend on the dealer. If they're in a good mood and have one in stock, odds would be good.
