2500 miles, 4 months, only problem is with rattles in the drivers door and center speaker grill in the dash buzzing. And 14 MPG...
Still don't know how so many are getting lousy mileage. I had to try hard in order to get ours down to 17mpg. All short stop and go trips for a tank, with one long trip climbing 4000 feet. Still normally 20 to 22mpg

going strong. Just the door stop TSB we were sent, 2 minor lube issues, and a broken gas cap tether.
Speaking of gas caps. How the heck do you secure your cap when filling to prevent it from smacking against the side of the vehicle? I just usually jam it between the metal locking tab on the lid.
There's a hook on the inside of the filler door, lower right. I place the cap tether in it, and it keeps the cap out of the way.
Where is that hook? Before I changed I put the base of the cap against the door and slid the caps groove onto the tab that acts as the strike plate.
Unfortunately, most businesses these days think they can afford to lose customers, because a new one will walk in right after you. The problem is, they are right, and have no initiative to keep us. Not like the old days when the important thing was not waiting for the next customer to walk in, but making sure every customer was satisfied for the sake of treating them properly.
I had a minor problem at Costco that could have been easily resolved, yet everyone I dealt with seemed all too eager to refund our membership and get rid of us. Well, that worked, and we've gone to Sam's Club ever since. Dumb.
