Update
Just got back from the dealership as above issues are warranty related and was told the following at check-in:
I would have to pay for a 23-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION, $39.95+taxes as some of the issues I wanted checked might be no fault items and is a way for them to get payment for their time. ( Now, from years of experience, I am not a big fan of having a stranger poke and prod under my hood and for good reasons, however, so be it. UUGGH. )
The issues were resolved by the following:
Bolts are proper length for this vehicle.
What appears to be a crack on the drivers side of the transmission is actually a casting flaw.
Passenger side front of vehicle is noisey over small bumps, seems like door is ajar: Found noise on roadtest, seems to be more so on speed bumps or slightly larger bumps of this nature, checked tightness of door hinges / door striker all seems ok, lubed door latch, could not find a fault or defective part. Noise is quite normal.
For some reason the service advisor never wrote up the "front wheel bearings loose" issue which I advised him upon check-in. But was later noted on 23- point inspection as had been checked and having some play in front wheel bearings and requires future attention.
Shifting issue: Test drove vehicle, shifted normally, if problem returns, recomend customer test drive with shop foreman.
It seems kind of redundent to do a 23 point inspection as I advised I had just completed the full 20,000km maintenance schedule last week. But was done again however.
My fault about the tranny bolts, they are there and for some reason are installed from front to back and therefore not matching the drivers side which were easily visible.
I was relieved to learn that the crack in the tranny case was only a flaw. But am perplexed as to why I paid good money for a flawed vehicle.
Noise on passenger side of vehicle when going over small bumps is apparently normal and possibly another flaw. They may have adjusted the stricker as noise is a bit less noticeable at the door.
I would have thought they would have fixed the wheel bearing issue I noticed while rotating the tires rather than just noting it again upon inspection.
Shifting issue was rectified, for the time being, possibly they did an adjustment here.
Their shuttle service was quick, curteous and excellent overall although their dispacher and driver did not know where a MAJOR CITY PARK entrance was in which I spent my day waiting and appeared not to own a map, although after several minutes on the cell phone with the dispacher and driver this issue was solved.
I wouldn`t recommend being a proud owner and detailing a vehicle before taking it into the dealership as I did. I found I needed a complete wash upon getting it home. Possibly from the pond like depression in the driveway behind the building which had no sump pump in place. There was tons of grit on and beside the floormats, so I vacuumed again and a new slight door ding which I can not be 100% sure wasn`t there before, but am pretty sure it wasn`t as I just detailed with tar remover and spot wax throughout and made drawings noting damage to body panels before entering check-in. Found four new chips in paint on drivers front steel wheel as probably didn`t use a rubber sleeved tire iron to remove the plastic chrome centre cap or a few slips with the impact driver when working the wheel lugs. This was my first experience bringing a vehicle to a dealership and I will be more mindful next time when using a different dealership! Luckily in a city of 1.2 million, there are several to choose from.
