I’ll preface this by saying I LOVE my car and have very few regrets about buying it. But damn. I'm at 16 months of ownership and 28k miles.
2,550 Miles: Left hand strut and strut mount replaced after being brought in for noise. Dealer notes state "verified concern coming from left front strut binding on strut mount.”
12,190 Miles: Right hand strut and strut mount replaced after being brought in for noise. Dealer notes state "right front strut and strut mount binding" issue before replacement.
13,100 Miles: Car glitched out entirely while driving, went into limp mode while on highway. Dangerous situation. Was able to exit and get to a parking lot where I turned car off and back on, "fixed" the issue but CEL stayed lit. Dealership replaced the MAP sensor. Problem never recurred.
14,150 Miles: Brought to dealership for excessive rattling specific to RPM. Foreman said it was going to be the exhaust valves. Ultimately they said it was turbo wastegate issue. Replaced entire left side turbo, noise was slightly better but quickly came back and is worse than ever at this point.
22,500 Miles: Dealership recommended replacement of front rotors and pads, verified by two outside mechanics and replaced by an outside mechanic with GiroDisc rotors at 27k miles.
26,750 Miles: Brought to dealership for buzzing noise under acceleration, it's been occurring almost the whole time I've had the car. Dealership stated they heard it and it was due to a faulty amp, they replaced the amp at 28k miles as it took a while for it to come in.
28,000 Miles: Got the amp replaced for above issue, noise was still 100% present and dealership now states it's the high pressure fuel pump and it's normal. So I got my amp replaced for no reason.
28,100 Miles: After getting the car back my battery died two days in a row, had to jump start the car. Dealership says the battery was shot and they replaced it.
28,250 Miles (Today): Discovered the drivers side massaging seat and bolster adjustments no longer work.
