264-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

4000 mi Front passenger seat belt buckle was put on backwards 
35000 mi Power liftgate would go to the up position but then it would drop to half way point after about a minute. The fix was to replace the pneumatic strut on the right side; seal was bad allowing gas to escape.
