| 16700 mi | Pano roof sometimes failed to close properly. Opening & reclining would fix it. They replaced the track/trim on one side. That fixed it. Rattle coming from passenger side A pillar. Rattle coming from hatch area, possible rear center speaker grill. Repair was successful initially, but rattle returned after about a week. They're aware of it and will make another attempt at the annual service in late April. |
| 10500 mi | Rattle coming from rear cargo area. Probably the rear center speaker. Rattle is still there. Rattle in right rear door. Still there. Lower dash panel on passenger side of center screen creaked oddly when a passenger would rest their knee against it. Pano roof rattled when open. |
| 14400 mi | Rattle from cargo area Rattle in right rear door Rattle at base of left C pillar. They found a broken piece but didn't have replacement in stock. Ordered new part and will fix on later visit. |
| 19100 mi | Panoramic roof won't go into "vent" position. Works correctly otherwise. Rattle coming from driver's side C pillar Rattle from driver's side A pillar Rattle from right rear door. Seems fixed initially, but noise returned after a few weeks. |
| 21100 mi | Rattle in headliner directly over passenger Rattle/creak front center of headliner Rattle coming from passenger side rear door. Rattle is still there after attempted repair. Edge of headliner coming loose and exposed over driver's door. The rubber seal along the edge of headliner is supposed to cover it, but the headliner fabric keeps coming free of it. Repaired, but problem came back after a few weeks. |
| 29000 mi | Panorama roof had a squeak when closed. They noticed the rubber seal was out of alignment and replaced it. It still squeaked but when I added some wd-40 to it, it was quiet. I had done that before and it didn't get quiet, so maybe it needed both replacement and lube. |
