Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have reported (4) problems on parts that have failed prematurely. i had to pay for the repair of these parts without warrenty cost sharing. rear bearing replacement: both rear bearings required replacing. i noticed the bearing noise at 98,000 miles and i understand that this bearing problem is common to my car. side glass scratches: both side windows have developed imbedded scratches in the glass due to the internal raising mechamism. the dealer only offered to replace the glass and would not share the cost. brakes: when i purchased the car new, the front brake rotors were warped and were ground at no charge. when the front brakes were found warped again at around 55,000 miles, they could not grind them because they were to thin due to the original grinding that was covered under warrenty. i had to pay for new front rotors and felt that the dealer should have shared the cost because the original brakes were defective. engine knock sensor: i feel that this is a component that failed prematurely but i had to pay full price to have it replaced.
