59700 mi Rear subframe bushings replaced 
133000 mi

US $750
Some minor plastic trim pieces were also ordered and replaced. 
8000 mi warranty replacement of driver window outer molding and tightening of driver door strap bolt. 
18000 mi Noise from left sliding door on all bumps. Dealer could not replicate but did replair noise from rear left panel that they felt probably was the noise. Unfortunatly I still hear the noise from the door. In fairness to the dealer, the door did not make ... 
24000 mi Windshield molding came loose. Left sliding door trim loose. Rattling from rear. 
25000 mi Windshield trim came loose. 
39000 mi Windshield moulding (flexible rubber) came out at top of windshield, was horribly glued at prior dealer, replaced. 
11780 mi Excessive wind noise at right side front passenger door adjacent to the windshield. Wind noise is not noticeable below 70 km/hour but quite annoying above 80. Dealer agreed to replace outer weatherstrip. Dealer installed new weatherstrip but wind noise still occurs on passenger side only. 
24180 mi The left side mirror became loose and was replaced. Asked dealer to check wind noise again. After considerable effort on the his part, he concluded that the glass may be uneven in thickness, causing air turbulance. New glass might fix this noise problem but we have not asked him to take this further. 
23000 mi Passenger rear door handle was loose. Retaining ring was replaced. 
58300 mi Also had right side cargo weather moulding reinstalled as it was coming off. 
61400 mi sunroof would not close all the way. They replaced the track system.
