    Don't CPO cars come with warranties? Take it back to the dealer with your concern.

    The buttons shouldn't be hard to use.
    See what the dealer can do for you.

    I just use a hammer to push mine. Works well. I keep it in the center console to keep it easy to get to when I'm driving.

    the do not press hard at all, easy to press. take it back to dealer and talk about it, i believe they just have to take apart console and clean it with some liquid.

    By certified they mean slap a new set of the cheapest tires they can find. Lof and air filter..... Check the cabin air filter. They never replace that but will once you point out its certified with a grungy cabin air filter....

    Only reason I bought certified was for the warranty.... Other than that it's just like any other used car.

    Now BMW Mercedes and let us. Those are actually certified used cars.....
