| 13500 mi | Driver window rattles intermittently. Rubber frame trim replaced. Rattles a bit less, but problem not solved. |
| 16000 mi | Still have a rattle noise. Service manager said they could remove interior panels and try to pinpoint the exact cause but due to the extensive use of hard plastic, fixing one thing can cause other noise issues. Fix or not. Haven't decided. |

Shift knob broke. Vehicle not able to shift out of park with out shift release mechanism. |
| 12300 mi | Small plastic insert from lower passenger chrome window trim not properly installed. It stuck out just enough to 'hit' front of the rear door & the trim is a little loose. Dealer pushed this in fully; but the trim is still a little loose. |
