2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,

I'm far from a tire expert, but I can't imagine how changing from a tire rated for speeds up to 149 mph to a tire rated for speeds up to 130 mph makes a bit of difference in a family sedan that most people aren't going to drive faster than ~80 mph.
I have 3 CD's which won't ejecy. Every once & a while I hear the motor attempt to eject them but nothing comes out. radio still works, but the 6 CD lights still show those 3 CD's are still in there. It seems like EVERYTHING has started to go wrong just as my warranty expired.

The dealer said they could not do anything about it and said it was probably cause by environmental issues.
Has anybody else experienced this? If so, did anybody's dealer fix their car?

Supposed to be a very common problem with the radio. The dealer was familiar with the problem before I even finished explaining.
If the dealer you are going to says anything other than no problem, either go to another or ask for his supervisor.
My gas light came on, I filled up 40 highway miles later, and it took 13.8 gallons. I prefer this "early warning", since I live where commutes are generally over 25 miles of freeway driving. I tend to be one of those people that fill up a few notches above the red "E" line (usually takes 11 gallons). My 1996 Accord's light comes on at 3 gallons to go usually (I've only had it on twice).

my wife told me once, if you want something, you need to speak with the people in the position to say "yes".
I have an '05 EX-L, and am considering putting on a suspension kit to sharpen up the handling. ALong with this, it makes sense to upgrade to a more performance oriented tire (although that could also be done in lieu of of the suspension pieces).
Anyway, I actually prefer to keep the 16" wheels that came with the car, as opposed to doing a +1.
So, my question is, does anyone know how wide you can go on the stock wheels, and when you would run into clearance issues? to complicate matters, the suspension kits lower the car slightly, and I really don't want to have the tires rubbing in the wheel well, or to compromise the great turning radius.
I did the calculations, and 225/55-16 is almost identical in total diameter to the stock 205/60s, so basically the question is can 225s fit on the stock wheels and in the wheel wells without a problem?

Any idea on the problem or the solution? The car has 20k miles so it can't be over use. And second, is there an issue spraying wd40 into the ignition hole?
Reason (you probably already know this) is, wider-bead tires mounted on narrow-bead rims will flex slightly more because of the less-than-perpendicular relationship of the sidewall with the pavement, elevating carcass temps somewhat during extended interstate speeds.
On clearance and turning radius, I'm guessing there won't be issues. I run 215s on my 03 coupe and as best as I can tell, the sidewalls have sufficient distance from the coil springs (inner clearance) and fender lip (outer clearance). Turning radius shouldn't change just because the tires are wider, as long they don't rub against underbody parts at full lock.
my '02 accord had a heavy amount of pine sap which i took off with 3M adhesive remover. when i re-waxed those areas, you couldn't tell i had deposits there.
sounds exactly as you said, a problem from underneath the paint and clear-coat.
when i said consult the warranty, isn't there one specifically for paint? maybe i'm imagining it. i suppose they'd say not covered by bird or tree droppings. ;(
Thanks for your interest.

So - they just say the word "no" and it's no?
Couldn't he take the vehicle to a paint shop and have a second opinion? One would think a specialist dealing exclusively with paint and finish would be better qualified to discuss a paint problem than some regional rep or a service tech. Some examples of paint blemish (photos to compare) could be useful too.
Too much trouble to do that right?

I had the same problem with my '03 Accord a couple years ago. They replaced the radio itself (which bolts into the back of the display). The reason is that the relay that controls the lights is located inside the radio itself. They did not replace the display--it had a couple scratches on it, and they were still there when I picked up the car.
btw-sorry if this seems liek a stupid question, but nobody in my family really knows anything about dealign with cars at all, and ims till a relatively new driver, so this the first car ive had responsibility for, and with this great power (of having a car) comes great responsibility (of not impulsively doing things without a second opinion, and making sure the car is in fine working condition, and that at all cost stupid things done to the car are avoided)
If you are still serious about stopping the rust, you should pick up something to neutralize the rust first before you put any type of paint on it.
It's going to be an uphill battle stopping rust on suspension parts. I don't think they are well protected when new, and they catch alot of stones while driving, so there will be alot more rust spots to come.
