Have around 11k miles. The problems I have had are very similar to what has been posted.

The windows not working in the cold is by far the most frustrating!

you know, I totally forgot about that!

I've had something rolling around in the trunk so it probably hit it

Almost 10k miles here, and no issues, chips or scratches even though I've been using her as a DD (knock on wood). I *might* have the chirping issue, but I can't be sure. I can't hear the sound at all from inside the cabin with the windows closed. Doesn't bother me, so I don't worry about it. Definitely have crappy GPS signal, but once again I hardly use the GPS, so eh.

~7200 miles. Chirping fuel pump but rarely hear it since it's cold out. I'm sure once it warms up I'll start hearing it again. Also have the rear deck or airbag pop/tick/noise as well as a similar noise from the driver's window.

xxscaxx · 02-13-2013, 02:13 PM

over 8k, just the chirp. GPS signal too but I haven't gone back yet to get it fixed.

Mine was built in December, 2,500 miles later no real issues to speak of, nothing worth taking it into a dealer. By which I mean I don't think I could get them to do anything to the car no matter how hard I complained, no noticeable condensation, crickets are minor, smells and rattles are intermittent and could easily be attributed to "quirks" (No GPS, no cold weather so those don't apply to me).

Only posting because I doubt anyone who is posting here has a car built later than October...

Can someone explain this trunk issue? Is it that the trunk wont open, or that it opens when you dont want it to?

There's a button inside the trunk to the left. When it is pressed it activates a valet mode so that it can only be opened when a key with the proper RFID chip (not the valet key) is used in the keyhole of the trunk (under the lip to the right of the licence plate). It will not open if you press the button from the cabin or the button on the key. It gets pressed accidentally and then you have to insert your key in the trunk keyhole open it, then press the button to set it to normal mode.

It's all clearly explained in the manual which nobody seems to read.

Sure you guys didn't hit the button in the trunk that cuts access off to using the key?

fritzy · 02-13-2013, 05:05 PM

Nearly 7000 miles.
GPS, which I just found out there's a fix for from this thread (thanks!)

Backed into an illegally parked car in the dark (my fault, really), and chipped the bumper plus some scuffs and cracked the tail lens. I'm trying to figure out if I want to make an insurance claim to get that fixed at a $500 deductible.

I've noticed the center dash rattle -- few things bother me as much as that, but not lately (maybe an AC thing?).

NOHOME · 02-13-2013, 06:15 PM

So the answer based on what I read is that "No Problems" is the exception.

no, I can use the key to open it, but not the button on the dash or the button underneath the trunk lid
