I haven't noticed mine being any more/less loose than any other auto car I've had. I really don't pay attention. I'll go check on brake and report back.

Don't know about wiggling knobs, but my shifter assembly started making a very annoying sympathetic vibration during acceleration. The dealer replaced the entire assembly inside the tunnel under warranty.

They didn't tell you that the tune or the lca's were the cause? Trolol.

Naw, but they did say the vibration from the exhaust could have done it.
