Picked up a nail in my right rear tire, otherwise problem free.

No problems yet in almost 13k mi. And mine's black. Is it luck or is it typical not to have problems with the SS?

PS I also have the turbo upgrade since 7k mi. Not sure what I'm doing right (or wrong)

It sounds like you got a lemon. If you've really been back 15 times for a variety of different problems, they should buy your car back.

Other than rattles and other odd noises, my SS has been trouble-free for 20,000 miles.

Same here. Soon I will be taking it back to the dealer for the first time to get the brake fix.

It depends on your state... but I believe there is another provision for total days out of service. If yours meets that, it may still qualify.
