10000 mi Repaired seatbelts and wipers. 
19000 mi The fuel door recall fix is embarrassingly poorly done. I am very dissatisfied with it. The dealer bent the door back in place, but otherwise left it alone. The right headlight was shaking. They tightened the bolt, but it was still shaking some.  After they looked at it again, they said it was fine; there was nothing wrong with it. 
31000 mi Fuel filler door replaced with the correct assembly after previously being "repaired" (recall) in a totally unsatisfactory way. I blame the previous service writer for not doing it correctly. It works great now. The transmission wouldn't engage out of "Park." Parts were replaced, but not sure what. Works fine now.
