| 70000 mi US $300 |

10 year old battery died |
| 20000 mi | XM Radio receiver completely stopped working one day when I was driving. Also when phone was hooked up to Bluetooth and someone called me it would not mute the radio rendering the hands free completely useless. Dealer tried resetting as well as updating. They ended up having to replace entire radio. I had to take multiple trips up to the dealer. Had to go up there at least 3 times. |

| 64000 mi US $200 |
replace 12v battery |
| 27140 mi | The radio was reporting an internal error with codes B15C1 and B157E. Dealer replaced the radio and everything is working again. |
| 34720 mi | After an upgrade to my smartphone OS the infotainment system would fast-forward content playing over Bluetooth. Dealer told me that there was no system update available, which was wrong. I found the update online and fixed it myself. |
| 16000 mi US $400 |
My air injection was clogged, maybe? I needed to have the air filter replaced and vacuumed the whole ventilation system. I park on a NYC street - there was evidence of rats, but could not offer protection/solution. |
| 6000 mi | The key fob that enables keyless starting went through 3 batteries in as many months (expected life is 2 years per battery). |
| 56500 mi US $315 |
Had to have the radio replaced. All applications failed (nav, internet, audio source selection). First dealer tried to reload firmware but USB port had also failed making re-flash impossible. |
