Hey guys.
The switches to get into sport, comfort, eco get stuck. When I press down on them they make a big clack noise and sometimes they get stuck and I have to smack them to get them released.

The other switches in the cluster aren’t having that issue.

I’m still under full warranty, will this be covered?
Is there an easier fix than taking it in?

I’d first try blowing some compressed air just to see if something happens to be causing the button to not be able to engage properly. Other than that, I’d go to the dealer.

Funny that you say that, dealer did exactly that and it fixed the issue.

Were you under warranty for that? I’m having the same issue and it’s so annoying.

I was under warranty but the dealer I went to is the guy I bought it from.
I told him when I got there and he fixed it for me within 5 minutes.
They literally just got a can of compressed air and blew some under the buttons.

You can do it yourself.
Pure compressed air.
