The only mechanical problem I've had with my car was the rear lower control arms. I had those replaced a couple years ago for free. The noise is coming back, but I'm not taking the car back to the dealer. I'll figure out how to fix that problem myself.

My only other complaint is the paint. It chips VERY easily, and doesn't appear to be very thick at all. The leading edge of my hood is full of stone chips.
