My 03 SSR (VIN 602) has been exhibiting a problem with its drive shaft. A very tinny "Tink" noise is heard after having the SSR parked and then starting it up and placing it into reverse. I also hear the noise at times when applying/letting off of the gas pedal (with the top down of course).
My dealership's service manager opened a case (for several issues on my SSR) and asked about this issue. GM stated that this has been reported on a few vehicles (not only SSRs). It appears the drive shaft will be getting replaced on my SSR since some drive shafts are slightly out of spec allowing enough flexing to occur on the splines which is then echoed through the drive shaft and heard as the "Tink" noise. They've ordered the replacement drive shaft for my SSR.
Having that meeting with the dealership's owner and the service manager last week certainly seems to have helped in getting my issues looked into a bit closer than before!!
