“36 miles after the 30000 mile warranty, I took my car in because the glove compartment is separating from the dash. I was told it is not covered under the warranty. I am now only covered for power train now until 70000 miles. They offered to cover parts but I have to pay for the labor. I was looking at 5 -7 hours of labor.”

NHTSA complaint #10188526, filed 2007-04, 30,036 miles

“After several days of owning the vehicle the driver side door has become noticeably out of alignment. The dealer was able to correct this and realign the door assembly. Also, I noticed that the rear light piece on the top part of the trunk seems to have been cut sloppy from the factory. The bottom edge is jagged and seems to have been poorly trimmed from the factory. I notice this when opening my trunk and when washing the vehicle and feel that it is tacky. Selling dealer stated that no one usually sees that so they are cut like that from the factory. …”
