| 80000 mi | Rear window power sunshade is malfunctioning. They are supposedly contacting my extended aftermarket warranty company to see if they will cover the repairs. Requires a new part, they cannot fix it. |
| 88000 mi | The power rear window sunshade material was bunching up instead of disappearing into the cargo shelf like it is supposed to. Car underwent inspection by warranty company, work approved, new part ordered and installed. |
| 89000 mi | I had the car in 30 days before my aftermarket warranty expires. Trunk lock was frozen and the tech lubed and fixed it. Waiting for warranty company to approve a couple of other things. No charges yet because the R.O. remains open. |
| 90000 mi US $500 |
The intermittent wiper problem was discovered to be the result of the aftermarket windshield. Due to the cost, I am living with it for now. The auto-dimming rearview driver's side mirror had begun to darken. I ordered the part online and the tech popped it on while I was in the shop for the wiper issue. No additional charge for labor. The tech finally had the service manual and my intermttant wiper problem is diagnosed as the aftermarket windshield. This was still covered by the warranty. I ordered the parts and the tech installed the cap for the GPS antenna (rubber tip broke off) and the photo-chromatic glass for the driver's side mirror (was darkening). |
| 93300 mi | The power rear sunshade malfunctioned again. This is the 2nd time I have had this replaced and I am told they are unrepairable. The last time the aftermarket warranty covered this and this time the 12/12,000 MB warranty did. |
| 104000 mi US $65 |
The fuel filler cap tether broke so I bought the part from the dealer and they replaced that free because I bought the part there (cap + tether come as one part) along with a tire rotation. |
