Re: Has anything broken on your HCH II?
I just posted a description of a weird, rubbery squeak noise I'm hearing while braking:

I also had a noise taken care of around my Navi. I think they wrapped the Navi in some kind of teflon tape and then remounted it. The noise is gone.
I'm also going to have them check out a rattle/buzz noise coming from my passenger side window post (between front and side windows). I hear it while going over rough roads.

Very loud rattle/creak somewhere between the NAV unit and steering wheel. I had it checked out where it was immediately obvious to the tech but it wasn't fixed on the first repair attempt. The Voice Recognition is almost laughable but unless there's a software update im not sure its repairable. Otherwise i'm pretty addicted to the high mileage (avg. about 50-52) on my 102 mile commute and HOV access saving me about an hour total.

My NAVI voice recognition is laughable, too... but it did work much better before I aired up the tires to 40 psi. I suspect the extra road noise is picked up by the microphone and messes with the accuracy. Also be sure to keep fan speed to #2 or below and have the windows closed. That can help somewhat.

I've got just under 2,000 miles on my HCHII. No problems really until tonight.
The Check engine light went on and stayed on. Only drove 7 miles with it that way. I will drive into work in the morning and call the service dept to see if they can take a look at it.
Hopefully nothing serious.

Re: Has anything broken on your HCH II?
I just had the driver window pop out of the track for the first time yesterday.
I'm at about 7000 miles.
I'll post my VIN tomorrow.
Would the following people with the window problem please post their VIN?
texhybrid
exbauer
ppgroup
azed
Anyone else with the window popping out of the track.
If you are concerned about privacy then replace your last digit with an X.
Is there a service bulletin number on this yet?

Kenny,
Looks like we've gotten one response so far (on the window regulator) with #14765. I'm anxious to see the others! My window is okay (so far), except for a loud squeak when lowering the window every once in a while. I'm VIN #12274, so I'm definitely NOT immune!
