| 33000 mi | Bluetooth failed, dealer replaced module. Told me it failed because my son's phone was not 100% compatible with the system which caused it to lock up and fail after time. Also caused battery to die. |
| 34000 mi US $100 |
After a few months the bluetooth failed again because dealer did not update software. They replaced the module again and updated software at their expense. $730. replace another bluetooth module, update software to accomodate newer phones |
| 75800 mi US $50 |
Drivers heated seat only working on back, not seat. Part would have cost $650 if not under warranty!! Included the leather seat because the heater is bonded to the leather. Dumb. Tire pressure Monitor System (TPMS) kept going off. Dealer noticed a non standard valve cap, which is a no-no I guess due to electrical conductance being different than the stock caps. Cost 1.37. Might have fixed it - at least so far. |
