I went to the dealer to complain about a grinding noise from the starter at cold starts. The service guy told me there is a bulletin out regarding 99-00 G20s needing new starters. He wouln't give me a copy but I read it. It says something about a seal breaking and leaking oil, or something like that. Anyway, they're gonna give me a loaner and try to duplicate the sound after the car is left parked overnight. This exchange is not part of the warrantee so its free even if your warrantee is over.
BTW, are there any other problems that you guys had to deal with that is covered by warantee. mine is over soon and there may be stuff i missed.....

you know my car is haveing that problem and I didn't know it can be fixed..cool...thanks alot man. What I know is that they recalled the shocks on the G20s so you can get it replaced for free. I had problems with hard "clonk" noises on the shocks and they replaced it for free.
