I HAVE NOT INFORMED THE DEALER YET, AS I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT NEXT MONTH FOR SERVICE AND WILL BRING IT UP AT THAT TIME. THIS SPEAKER GRILL MAY HAVE HAD A CRACK IN IT WHEN PURCHASED OR THESE ARE VERY BRITTLE. I HAVE HEARD THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN THIS CAR. THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ALREADY ON THIS SITE.
