You may just got a lemon.
I'm at 12k on the odometer and there's zero issue so far. There's the infamous cricket but I'm used to it by now, (not a quality issue).
I mainly use mine for occasional drive to work and weekend spirited driving, always garaged, hardly park outside in the summer heat or cold winter and I'm the only driver
