I had a moisture problem that caused my windows to fog up to the point that water dripped from the windows. This was a day one problem that could never be pinpointed. Second, something happened with the cam...caused serious top end motor damage...this was at like 3k miles...sunroof went out about 4 months later...and the last draw was when I started having shifting problems with just over 12k miles. Finally decided that the car had to go. I'll never buy a first year production car again!
