Over 60k miles, biggest issue(s) so far?

[HachiRo]

For anyone over or near the 60,000 miles mark (which I'm sure some people are), what has been the biggest issue with the car? Warranty and not warranty-covered.
Not including accidents!

Right at 60,000 miles (well, 54,000+ at last fuel up). Pure stock, no issues, but I wouldn't expect any until at least twice that many miles, if not 3x that many for my car since I don't race it, and other than a little hot rodding on occasion it is primarily a commuter car at near highway speeds.

I did have them do the TSB in late December for the crickets, but it wasn't because I had them (if I did/do the TSB made zero difference) but because I wanted to zero out the fuel pump mileage before the warranty ran out.

Honestly, I can tell you that if I bought a modern car new that did not make it to at least 120,000 miles issue free (not talking about standard maintenance services) I would never buy that model, and perhaps that brand, again.

Dang.

That's some miles.

No significant difficulties with mine yet at around 27k.
Not expecting any either. It's a Toyoburu. What could possibly go wrong?

34k miles, significantly under your request but a relevant data point:

Check engine light 10 minutes into my 8th ever track session with the car (each ~20 minutes) turned out to be a coil pack, relatively common and at $100 a relatively simple fix. The light went off after turning the car off and on about 5 times and there were zero drivability issues, although they may occur as the pack degrades due to heat and wear and tear.

Not covered under powertrain warranty but it is covered under bumper-bumper (36k/3yr).

I'm over 60k. I've had the engine blow up, fuel pump replaced, my release bearing melted at 50k, my tail lights got condensation at 25k.

Tails weren't covered because I didn't complain until after 36k, engine and fuel pump were replaced under warranty, release bearing was on me.

They could have denied my engine replacement for a number of reasons but didn't.

Like, modification reasons? Curious to know because I do have a tune.

I was over due for an oil change, I had minor mods (inlet hose), I had been to the track (on that oil no less) a few thousand miles before the failure where i used the pedal dance (although I disconnected my battery before taking it into the dealership, so maybe that wiped all record of it).

What saved me I think was the specter of di seal failure, and the fact that I had every oil change done at the dealership at recommended intervals (except the last one, where I was 3k over or so).

Good to know, I do all my oil changes at the dealer and I'm usually early not late. :-)

Now this is an interesting post. I'm nooooo way near those miles. Just hitting 10k on my '14. But planning on keeping this one, so really curious what issues people have had. Considering a tune down the road but not interested in blowing it up. That's what my '66 Ratrod is for. Lol

You had to say it. You just had to f*cking say it.

40k miles. Taillights replaced...that's it. No major problems other than running into small critters @ 4am.
