2009 Pontiac G5 2dr Coupe

155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD

12400 mi Cover for hole in G5 trunk interior (cover for the hole left by the cobalt taillights) broke, but was replaced under warranty. The part is fragile, and difficult to install. Removing cover exposes sharp metal, but it's a MINOR issue... 
13640 mi Wheel center caps were loose, 2 had fallen off. Warranty replaced with a newer part which should not fall off. Very pleased with warranty coverage on this. 
42000 mi Trim plate around sunroof switch was loose
