Post Your Build Date!

Posts on chronic or common problems in this forum would be even more useful if the poster would include their build date.

Those of us who are not now experiencing a given problem will have a better heads up, and be able to have their dealer check it out on their next dealer visit. Our build date is 01-08. A2Jack.

Wish build dates were more specific. Seems that might be even more useful.
June 2008. Rattle from rear of car. Intermittent auto headlight control issue.

Mo/Yr of build, plus last four of VIN?? The VINs have to be somewhat sequential or they wouldn't be able to identify and locate specific vehicles involved in recalls.
