1,900 miles on mine so far. The only problem has been from the dealer. They put the inspection sticker on crooked. I asked them to fix it, so they kindly used a razor blade to scrape off the clear coat and mount a different inspection sticker crooked. Lame.

Everything else about the vehicle is perfect.

At 3050 miles the RR TP sensor started intermittently not working. It's always the RR and I havent taken back to the dealer yet. No other problems and I really enjoy this vehicle.

That reminds me of the new Buick Rainier we got in '04, it had an Oldsmobile 800 number sticker on the drivers window to call for assistance. And Olds had a different number than Buick. So the dealer thought I was anal asking for a Buick one, but they did, and promptly put it on crooked.

So far the list of issues I have is as follows:

Boost gauge light flicker
Noise from the clutch pedal
Clunking sound from the clutch/tranny during clutch use and shifting 1 and 2 gears
Drivers side door lock fails to work all the time (remote or button, lock or unlock)
Two small dents in the passenger side front fender

I need to get it in to the dealer next week.

Heres one for you ,
I was driving home and running at about 65mph I go to pass a truck and it moves out but then just as fast I lost all boost !!!!
No boost would build up at all and I have the engine light come on.
I looked at it the next day and I could not find any loose hoses or clamps.
Looked at the intercooler for any type of hole and found none.
Took it in to the dealership to get it looked at ,told them that it was not building up any boost.
Here is what they came back and told me...
Sir you have a shift light added to the electrical system that caused a low voltage code to come on and is causing it to not build up boost ! .
I was like "WTF" does a shift light have to do with it not making boost???
At this point I knew that they did not know what the "F' they where doing and told them to just leave it alone.
So I take it home and park it to let it cool down mean time I was thinking what else would keep it from building boost ???
Then I snapped to it and thought the wastegate may be bad and not working ???
So I jacked it up and "Bam" the nut had come off of the end of the wastegate rod !!! Found a 10mm nut and put it back together. Took it out for a spin and 20lbs of boost "back in business".

Talk about a bunch of dumb a22's at the dealership !
I mean if you don't know what your working with just say so and tell me that your going to look in to it and not just blame it on the first mod you see that has nothing to do with the issue!!!!!
