Replaced a few missing screws from the engine shield that had fallen out due to being over-tightened by the dealer.

5580 mi Rear passenger door handle would not retract, leaving door latch open and bouncing off the post when attempted to close. 
4000 mi Bad switch for sunroof. Switch did not fail, was bad at assembly. Because my time sked was very short the selling dealer did not time time to repair. Fixed at new location. No cost. One day out of service.
