Front tires needed replacement after getting worn out from the inside edges due to bad alignment. It is a repeat "feature" - the car seems to eat either the front set of tires or the rear one. Driven 8 miles daily. No harsh turns or breaks whatsoever. But the issue keeps on coming up in 8-10K miles. And its either the front set or the rear. Car is always dealer maintained and all reports show alignment as correct and other components working as required. IF anything is off, i get it replaced immediately. This is my wife's daily driver and I don't like her or kids stranded on road side so I maintain it religiously. |

The intermittent wiper problem was discovered to be the result of the aftermarket windshield. Due to the cost, I am living with it for now.

The tech finally had the service manual and my intermttant wiper problem is diagnosed as the aftermarket windshield. This was still covered by the warranty. I ordered the parts and the tech installed the cap for the GPS antenna (rubber tip broke off) and the photo-chromatic glass for the driver's side mirror (was darkening). |
