  1. My 2016 sport has the oil pan leak as well. I bought it in April brand-new (great rebates!) And it's build date is October 2016. It appears to be very minor as the only way to tell is the slight smell outside the vehicle and a small (yet growing) staying on my garage floor. The dipstick shows no decrease in oil yet.

     

    The dealer I use in southeastern Michigan (I like them very much) couldn't even get it in front of the mechanic until early June although I reported and they confirmed the leak back in late April.

     

    Other than this and a hell of a time getting the original USB hub out in order to allow CarPlay to work I absolutely love this vehicle!

    Success!!!

     

    One attempt to remove from the front and said.....no way this will be easy.

     

    Removed trim from passenger side center console, really easy by just pulling and popping the clips out.

     

    Then removed the rear cover to the center console behind the USB port for full access.

     

    Felt for the tabs and squeezed my fingers in there and pressed the tabs down while pushing on the back and it slid right out.

     

    Tied off the wires with a couple pieces of fishing line so they didn't drop back in. Each connector for the hub had a small clip, removed the old and connected the new. Plugged in my phone and Apple Car Play came right up, accepted and looks beautiful.

     

    All in all really easy to swap out, maybe 20 minutes tops.

     

     

     

    Help me here.

     

    I removed the two trim pieces recommended (side clipped on piece and top part of rear of cubby). While I can easily press the single clip on the passenger side and the top clip of the installed usb hub, THERE IS NO WAY MY FINGERS WILL FIT up beside the drivers side (two clips) in order to push them in. Fingers half my size would not fit. How in the heck did you guys get the two drivers side clips pressed in order to "pop" it out? I just spent an hour trying and now I am a sweaty mess with a bunch of pieces and tools on the driver side floor.

     

    Gonna watch some Cindy Crosby and hope one of you are able to tell me the secret.

     

    Ugh. Thanks.

    Edit: I guess its is Nashville vs Anaheim so no Cindy (good).

    Okay.....

     

    Brute force. I got up again, grabbed a roofing hammer and smashed the crap out of the lower console. Damn thing popped out alright.

     

     

    Just kidding. I did use the roofing hammer and brute force. I was able to get both the flat pry end of the hammer and some folded paper towel under the drivers side of the usb hub from the top and pried it out. When it finally gave it made the same noise a rock'em sock'em robot game made when you knocked his block off. The paper towel protected the plastic.

     

    The rest was cake and pie. Plugged it in and presto - CarPlay. The maps are sooooo much better!!!!
