Trips to the dealer for warranty

Three times now I have had to take my OZ to the dealer for warrant service.. relatively minor but it's getting kind of annoying!!!

The first time was because there were scratches in my car immediately when I bought it... so they buffed them out.

The next time a vaccuum solenoid went out and I had to have that replaced.

Now I have mad crazy condensation in my drivers side headlight and am now getting that replaced.

I also have paint just flaking off on the top edges of side skirts as an added bonus (which they of course just blame on my feet in and out of the car of course)

And then on my fault end of things. I snapped my sway bar perches with the RRM bar.. oh well...

Stripped a couple of bolts on the strut insulator because I half assed my work and just was lazy and used the impact wrench to tighten them down (VERY bad idea.. stupid me)

I also have some strange clicking coming from the engine compartment (sounds a lot like cliking valves or lifters I think... but not real sure)

I'm really hoping this series of breaking pieces gives up sometime soon!

How many warranty claims have other people had?

Only thing I've taken mine in for was because one of those plastic pop-in fasteners was missing from the passenger side foot well.
