98 Sport last warranty checkup, advice?

[mkenabch]

My manual 98 Exp Sport is in for service with 20 (I know, I know!) miles left on the extended (70k)warranty. Any advice of things I should have them check before it's too late? Anyone know if any of the things below will be covered?

--started last week, when I turn it over it doesn't start on a dime like it used to and then the engine revs high. Any ideas?
--engine knocks and pings when accelerating at speed on highway (I put some type of cleaner in the gas and it helped with this, now able to use 87 octane again)
--the rubber molding around the doors is cracking/splitting
--the display on the radio starts blinking and dims sometimes when the lights are on
--sometimes it seems to shift funny on the highway... rev too high and then shifts low (I have no vocabulary to talk cars!)
--when I turn the wheelbase real tight it makes this horrible loud clunking noise (so I don't do it!)
--the front end bounces all over the place when I go over little bumps (never had an suv and thought this was normal but the guy at farmstore said when I pull in "why's it go all over the place like that? that's not good, no") Anybody laughing yet? Don't think I'll bring myself to even mention this one!
I'd much appreciate any info/advice

Make absolutely sure they check your engine out and that the 00M12 program has been done to it.

Print out what you originally wrote in this thread, bring it with you to the dealer and tell them to fix all those things, also do what jason said, make sure you had the 00m12 done!

Good Luck
