Default My warranty is about to expire, any big things to look for?

So I have 30 days left on my base warranty (48K miles) on my '13 4.0T. I do have 2 years of CPO kicking in after that. I am going to make an appointment with my dealer to have a slight "wobble" in my drivers seat looked at. I am curious if there is any usual items I should have them look at? I am going to see if I can pay them to do an overall inspection as I heard some dealers will do that. Just curious if there's any obvious things I want to point out to them.

Do you feel any vibrations with the engine revving between 1 and 3k rpms in park?
very common with the 4.0T

I have to admit, my car only has 33k miles on it. So no, but it is a common theme among others..

My current issue is GPS, the car has no clue where it is... It just there...

The engine mount issue was on the 4.0 only. Others have mentioned front sway bar links are common. The cpo should be the same coverage yes?

First thing I did when I bought the car was have th 1K 3K vibration issue fixed. Had to drive a Q7 loaner for 1200 mikes while I waited for the downpipes, otherwise I would be closer to my 50K mileage end of warranty.
