Windshield wiper motor failed. 
75000 mi Replace wiper motor as per recall 
61000 mi The radio would freeze. None of the controls would work, not even the on/off switch. The volume would usually get very loud. The only way to "fix" the problem was to shut off the car. When the car restarted, the radio would reboot and it would be OK for a while. The dealer said the radio's files were compromised. They updated the file using the USB port in the counsel. That fixed the problem.
