| 3100 mi | When trying to open the gate, there was resistance when it was about 1/2 open - upon inspection observed that the spoiler was misformed. Took it to the dealer - no one in service left. Made appointment, dropped it off, upon picking it up they told me ... |
| 3720 mi | I returned a 2nd time and the spoiler was replaced. I am very satisfied and everything is good now. |
| 61800 mi | Replace driver side window regulator (second time). |
