    I have a 2010 with 5k miles - bought <4 mos.

    Last week, I started noticing a petroleum smell in the cabin. I've also had trouble with the inside windshield. When I tried it wipe it, it just smeared. Finally, I used some cleanser and it's clear. It took several applications to work.

    I read in the Gen II forums about a loose oil filter cap. I checked mine today. I was able to turn it about 1/2 inch.

    Now, I'm getting headaches after I drive for more than 15 minutes or so. I've tried switching the circulation but I can't tell which way is better.

    I'm due for my 5k service and it's paid for but I thought I'd check here first.

    Also, I have a choice of dealerships for service. How do I find out which one is better?

    Run.......don't walk to the dealer....

    As for which dealer is better then the other....it's really a crap shoot.....you have to try them out..see which one makes you feel at home....which one does the work that you want, and only what you want.

    Good Luck !!!!!:)
