161000 mi

US $184
I went in to have the AC diagnosed/repaired but they created a coolant leak and didn't fix either. I had to tow the car home and I'll fix it when I have time. Cost me $184 and lots of aggravation. 
200 mi Airbag sensor passenger side was disconnected at delivery. Fixed 
8647 mi Power windows stopped dipping; one-touch up and down does not work. Reprogrammed control units. 
14871 mi Power windows stopped dipping again; one-touch up and down does not work. Replaced module and reprogrammed control units. 
37601 mi Replaced blown left front woofer. 
41046 mi Radio multifunction display LCD screen distorted. Radio replaced / reprogrammed. 
48297 mi A/C not as cold as it was. Found low charge by .3 lbs, but couldn't find leak. Seat belt chime occasionally will not shut off even if seat belt is latched. Nothing on the seat when this happens, so it's not the weight sensor wanting that seat buckled. I had it written up on RO so warranty will cover if it recurs. 
79000 mi TPMS malfunction; have not determined if TPMS sensor is out, or something else. Will wait until summer wheels and tires are installed to see if problem persists. 
79000 mi TPMS malfunction not related to sensors; summer wheels with known good sensors did not resolve the issue.
