Problems:
~5k miles, clicking rear axle. Fixed under warranty.
~20k miles, driver's window motor died. Fixed under warranty.
~25k, ~35k, free brake pad/rotor changes, per brake "complaints." Not
really problems, but it was covered because people complained about
brake wear.
~50k, accidentally broke off driver's side rear view mirror. Fixed it
myself for ~$150
~85k, driver's side front wheel bearings died (grinding sound,
vibrations on turns). Fixed myself for ~$450 (replaced both sides.)
~109k driver's door lock actuator died. Fixed it myself for ~$250
Maintenance wise (did myself unless otherwise noted):
-Mobil 1 5w-30 at 1500, 3750, 6000. . .then about every 4k since.
-rear diff synth oil changes at 30k, 60k, 90k. Used mobile1 first two
times then redline last time.
-flushed coolant at 60k and 112k (60k done at dealer.)
-Trans fluid "change" at 30k, 60k at dealer. I'll do it again when I
get my VB and TQconverter.
-Michellin PS2s until 25k then until 45k, BFG KDW2s until 85k and then
until 112k. FK452s are on now.
Upgraded stuff:
-Stoptech Stage II rotors/SS brakelines, DOT4 fluid change at 50k. Have
gone through 3 sets of Hawk HPS+ pads since, rotors are still 3/4 of
allowable thinkness. (I'm not a psycho on the brakes.)
-borla exhaust, MD spacer, TS reflash, ztube-pc thrown on ~60k.
-completely upgraded sound system ~95k
-sustec proSEVENs + TEAS installed a few months ago (112k)
-vortech in a box. . .
will probably install this summer.No CELs and no other issues.

~5k miles, clicking rear axle. Fixed under warranty. >I also had the issue with the window modulator and Axle clicking(twice).
~20k miles, driver's window motor died. Fixed under warranty.^^
~25k, ~35k, free brake pad/rotor changes, per brake "complaints." Not
really problems, but it was covered because people complained about
brake wear. >Nice, that u got them to pay for this..I changed this myslef at about same time upgraded to Rotora rotors and Hawk pads.
~50k, accidentally broke off driver's side rear view mirror. Fixed it
myself for ~$150
~85k, driver's side front wheel bearings died (grinding sound,
vibrations on turns). Fixed myself for ~$450 (replaced both sides.)>Expensive D.I.Y. project, wonder what the dealer would have charged!
~109k driver's door lock actuator died. Fixed it myself for ~$250> Not sure what the actuator is, but I am currently habing trouble with drivers side door unlocking with remote.
Maintenance wise (did myself unless otherwise noted):
-Mobil 1 5w-30 at 1500, 3750, 6000. . .then about every 4k since.> Me too; some people dont like using Mobil 1. I think it's a good value for a Synth.
-rear diff synth oil changes at 30k, 60k, 90k. Used mobile1 first two
times then redline last time.>I have never done this job; maybe I should, huh?
-flushed coolant at 60k and 112k (60k done at dealer.) >I did this along with brake fluid flush at 52K.
-Trans fluid "change" at 30k, 60k at dealer. I'll do it again when I
get my VB and TQconverter. >Now this really pisses me off..The dealer has told me repeatedly that I dont need a manual tranny flush, even though I have requested it. Did you see any improvement by getting this done(smother shifting)?
-Michellin PS2s until 25k then until 45k, BFG KDW2s until 85k and then
until 112k. FK452s are on now. >too much to list but my OEM's lasted about 25k miles.
