I've had mine back to the dealership a couple times so far. First one of the keys was not programmed when I got the car. I had that corrected within a couple days of purchasing. Then I started getting a warning on the dash "Service Keyless System" I thought it was related to the key not being programmed correctly. I figured I would let it go until the first oil change.

Next issue was a check engine light and traction control light that came on when I started the car, also sounded like there was no oil for a second or two, just kind of clattery sounding. I took it in for the lights and they found an issue with the camshaft position sensor. I don't think they actually replaced any parts, just reflashed the computer. I also had them check out the keyless issue and that turned out to be a bad door handle.

While waiting a week for the door handle to come in, I still had the engine light on and the noise at start up once in a while. The door handle came in so when I made my service appointment, I told them they needed to check the light again. My appt was on Monday, so I dropped the car off Sunday afternoon. Well when I went to start the car, the car was pretty much dead. It had enough juice to unlock the doors and one feeble starting attempt and that was it. I ended up jump starting it to get it running. The dealer did not find anything electrical wrong with the car and they could not re-check the codes for the check engine light because they said they were wiped out when the battery went dead.

So far everything has been good, but it has only been about 3 weeks since everythings been fixed. But I think there may be something loose or flapping under the car. I can sometimes hear a noise at around 60mph, but it is hard for me to pinpoint where it is coming from. If I roll down the window, the wind noise is too loud. Plus the road I drive to work is not the smoothest asphalt so I get some tire noise too, my car has the 20" wheels. I just need to get under it and see if there is anything loose.

But overall, I do like the car a lot. I think it drives great and I really like the features. Hopefully the issues I have are just part of getting the bugs out of the new model.
