2012 Lexus RX 4dr SUV

275-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

42200 mi Dealer replaced windshield at their expense due to "orange peel" distortion effect. 
49600 mi Dealer (Spinelli Lexus Lachine) promised to fix squeak that occurs roughly between -10C - +10C from the windshield when purchased. Dealer reneged on agreement when the salesman quit, and did some minor work to try and fix it but ultimately did not fix the problem. They refuse to do anything else so we will have to live with it; it is not serious but can get quite annoying in the right weather. 
54560 mi Replaced heater shroud to fix dash squeak. 
55800 mi Squeak believed to have been previously repaired returned. Left car with dealer, dealer reported unable to reproduce squeak. Squeak occurred within 30 minutes of leaving dealer, and has been generally noted to occur in weather < 10 deg. C. Waiting on dealer response currently.
