May	2007	2000	0	Sunshade rattling when opened. Dealer ordered new sunshade and will call when it arrives to schedule appointment to install it. Excessive brake squeaking and poor stopping distance. Dealer resurfaced front rotors. Problem has not happened again.
Jul	2007	4000	0	New sunshade installed to resolve rattle. Info and Reset buttons on steering wheel intermittently fail to work. Dealer could not reproduce, so not fixed. Annoying delay when accelerating from transmission. Was told it is a characteristic of the car (and is actually reported by many people on the Internet as per my own research).
Aug	2007	4000	0	Vibration/popping noise when turning right from steering column. Dealer ordered new intermediate steering shaft.
Sep	2007	5000	0	New shaft was ordered, but it was incorrect one. Problem was inadvertently resolved when tech took apart steering shaft. He did something (no one is sure what!) to fix the problem unintentionally. So for now the problem is gone. New redesigned cruise control/info center switch installed on steering wheel to correct previously reported problem with functionality being intermittent. Problem has not happened again. Passenger side seatbelt reminder light did not come on when passenger was seated in front seat. Buckle replaced and resolved the problem.
Nov	2007	7000	0	Steering shaft noise returned. Fixed as per a service bulletin that the dealer found. Sunshade squeaking when closed intermittently. Technician attempted fix. Better but not fully resolved. Sunshade is now misaligned as well. TCM update for harsh / delayed shifting
Dec	2007	8000	0	Steering shaft fix did not work. Noise came back within a few days. Returned and entire steering shaft replaced. Now steering is off center and loose. I need to bring it back yet AGAIN for this SAME problem (for the FIFTH time!).

Apr	2008	13000	0	Left car at another dealership to try and find water leak. Despite extensive water testing could not reproduce the leak. Previous dealer advised resealing of the windshield but water still entered during rain. 2nd dealer said probably not windshield. Steering wheel mounted audio controls not working properly intermittently. Volume up sometimes lowers the volume. Volume down sometimes changes to next radio station. Problem duplicated and new steering wheel switch ordered.
May	2008	14000	0	Still could not reproduce water leak despite it happening to me again in the rain. Trunk also leaks occasionally. Weatherstripping replaced in attempt to stop it but still leaks. I have given up on the car as a lemon and have pursued legal counsel. Although part was ordered during previous visit for steering wheel controls, dealer never called. But strangely part was not needed because when they originally removed and reinstalled the control it started working normally again.

The first time it went dead I had to get a jump start to get to work and it shorted out my audio system nothing else just the radio. Still not fixed!  I haven't had it checked out yet but I have read that warped rotors are a problem with this model and when I hit the brakes I get a pulsing sound, different than when the anti-lock brakes are activated, so I think that the rotors are warped seemed to be leaking from the rear windshield drivers side, I put windshield RTV on it thought I had it fixed but I still have a leak from someplace. I will either go all the way around the window with RTV or have it replaced. Then wait.

Feb	2007	1000	0	Driver-side front fender had a small dent that the neighbor noticed after we parked the car in the driveway the first time. The maintenance manager determined that the dent occurred prior to the car being painted at the factory.
Apr	2007	2000	0	Dashboard was misaligned due to an installation mistake at factory. Trunk lid was off center in opening, so the gaps were visibly uneven on each side. Dealer farmed work out to a body shop, which had to adjust the taillights and bumper fascia to acheive correct alignment. Power steering whines excessively and causes minor vibration in the steering wheel. Dealer indicates no problem exists, but I don't buy it.
Oct	2007	7000	0	Hood was out of alignment. Trip to the body shop only changed the misalignment but did not correct it. Sunroof rattles incessantly over minor bumps, but they were unable to reproduce the problem. Left rear door interior trim was scraping against the interior door trim. New trim piece was installed and problem resolved.
